G'day,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as one that may need attention. I'm just posting to update you on what your requirements are as a cache owner as you may have forgotten or not been very clear on what you need to do.

The maintenance email you received would have highlighted what you need to do but [here](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=713) is a reminder.

- Maintenance: Visit your geocache, make any needed repairs, and post an “Owner Maintenance” log so the community knows it’s available to find. Consider updating the description, hint and/or the Difficulty/Terrain rating if it appears that geocachers are having trouble finding it. If your cache was fine, please indicate so with the "Owner Maintenance" as well. The "Owner Maintenance" log cancels out any existing "Needs Maintenance" attributes on the cache page.

- Disable: If you cannot check on your geocache within a reasonable amount of time, please disable your geocache listing. Once you perform maintenance, you can enable it and post an “Owner Maintenance” log.

- Archive: If you decide it is time for your geocache to be permanently retired, please archive the listing and retrieve all physical stages.

If you are not sure how to post any of these logs, then there is a great [help centre article](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=234) that you will want to have a read of. You will need to post an owner maintenance log once you have visited the cache and rectified any issues to clear the needs maintenance attribute on your cache.

If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Rgds,
Matt - Ministro.

Could not see anything here or nearby trees. DNF:(
 
09-Apr-16
Was looking for quite some bit only thing I found was a bong Smile
 
20-Mar-16
Searched in all obvious places then went further a field, no luck today, I think this could be missing.
 
30-Jan-16
Read thru all the activities but had no luck, i got bitten by ants so had enough. Would love to know if it is still here as hasnt been found in a long time.
 
30-Jan-16
Not a fan of DNFs so this is painful no one has posted on this for a while so no updated info followed what info we could but no luck
 
17-Oct-15
Had a poke around, but too many muggles.
 
10-Oct-15
Kgari & mia found it.
 
21-Aug-15
This one has been moved a little since it was originally placed and the hint is only applicable to get you close to where the cache now resides. Unfortunately I couldn't read far enough back in the logs on my phone to know this, hence I'm updating the info for future finders.

I headed to the largest gum tree and although I found a few hidey holes they were all empty and didn't really look suitable as cache hiding spots. I looked around and saw another no-quite-as-large gum tree a few metres away and as I was making my way towards it I happened to look up the bank a bit and spotted the cache peeking out at me from its new hiding spot.
 
15-Aug-15
Not as hard as I thought. Beware of the spider! Wink
 
14-Aug-15
Came back for another go as it's such a beautiful spot. Found it under a different tree and not under a rock! TFTC.
 
12-Aug-15
Through the bush to the base of the biggest gum tree but no luck. Read a previous post that said it had been moved so now I'm not sure where it is meant to be!!
 
05-Jun-15
Hard location
 
15-May-15
2nd go at this one, happy to have success! Tftc Smile
 
25-Apr-15
I was looking at the wrong tree... but eventually found it
 
25-Apr-15
Found it!! Bush bashing!!!!
 
19-Mar-15
Could not find. Searched all gumtrees but there was a fishing rod with a stick on the end that had nothing else tied to a gumtree, probably it?
 
03-Mar-15
Spend a good time looking but couldn't find it, worried that the recent storms might have moved it.
 
08-Feb-15
Gotcha! Came back for third attempt and got it straight away! I really like this location and all its possibilities for a cache hidey hole. TFTC!
 
08-Feb-15
TFTC It took 3 visits to finally find this one and even then it was GeoGirlfriend who finally laid her hand on the cache.
 
07-Feb-15
Not as close to the water than you think it is. White jar. Bring your own pen...We forgot ours so couldn't write down our log.
 
30-Jan-15
Second attempt to find. Thwarted by mozzies doing the finding of me. Next time it's going to me doing the finding. I'll get this cache!
 
20-Jan-15
I had a road trip planned with a mate on our motorbikes. His bike was up in Brisbane so I had to ride up to Brisbane from Sydney on my own. I did a few stop overs along the way to visit family members up north. What I thought was to be a pleasant ride up to Brisbane was not!

From Byron Bay to the Gold Coast I rode through crazy storms with extreme lightning, torrential rain, strong winds and all at night providing some terrible vision for someone on a motorbike. I was passing other cars who had all pulled over to the side of the road, trucks included! I was doing 60km along 100km sections and was still not being overtaken by other vehicles. What made it worse was that it came unexpectedly to me and I hadn't had time to put my wet weather gear on, so I was absolutely saturated!! I managed to pull into my cousins place after completing a section from Ballina to the Gold Coast which took me three times as long as it should have!!

My cousins were interested to find out about this geocaching deal and after having seen that this one was nearby we decided to have a crack at it to introduce them to this world they have never heard of. After dinner we took the dogs out for a skate, I was lucky enough to have a Husky pulling me and it was great fun!

We pulled up at the park, ditched the skate boards and got our phones out to use as torch lights. We headed to the GZ and I decided to let my cousin search for this alone so he could make his maiden find. He was hesitant about going into the scrub but jumped in. After he realised he wasn't getting too far I showed him a more suitable path and followed him in closer to the cache hiding spot.

When at GZ I let my cousin search for this one, until it got too annoying being attacked by mozzies and watching him go past a very good hiding spot time and time again. I ended up pointing out the spot and sure enough he found the cache. We brought it back out to sign the logs and examine the contents before he put it back in its spot.

Thanks for the cache, this was a great intro for my cousins and doing it at night time provided a bit of extra fun.

TFTC cheers

Found at 4.15pm. Lucky this is out of sight from mugglers (lady and little girl on playground) found after a slippery walk to GZ, thongs are only shoes I wear but not the best at some places.
Signed and replaced as found good little spot.
Thanks for the cache.
 
03-Jan-15
Lovely spot that we have never been too before. There are some lovely parks around this area and perfect to stop and get a smile. No one was around and Mr geo took more time getting this one than he usually does. Havana and I sat on the wall and enjoyed the water play going on. Eventually he scrabbled out alive and with a smile. Thank you for the Cache and a chance to visit a new location.

25-Aug-14
Found it after quite a slippery search and nearly sliding into the river. This park has always been a favourite of mine, being a local. Was a good cache for my first find! Can't wait to continue the hunt Smile
 
02-Jun-14
Which gum tree will it be.. Found after a lil search TFTC Smile
 
16-May-14
Quick find on a rainy Friday afternoon. This is such a nice park, thank you for showing me this! Smile

As there are a few big blue gums around and a gps that was not cooperating, I needed to bounce from one to the other to find the right one Smile Finally located the right one and cache was retrieved with no hassles Big Grin PS, if you decide to do this on a wet day, take note, it gets a little slippery Big Grin

I'm not sure why I haven't come by this one before. A nice big park by the river on my way further down the river. TFTC
 
11-Mar-14
This morning I was shooting off to run a few errands. Oh but wait. I need to grab a cache first. This one was on my way so I called in to this tranquil little park. One muggle sitting having his morning tea on a nearby picnic table caused me no concern as he was more interested in his thermos and newspaper. A quick hunt saw me have this cache's log inscribed swiftly and I'm on my way. TFTC. SL.
 
04-Mar-14
Out and about after work today. Big Grin
I was in the area and thought I should grab this one as it is on this side of the river. Razz
A little searching before finding it. Big Grin
Thanks for the cache.

Good find. But no log book

A bit tricky for 2 old birds, but perseverance paid off.

It was now well after dark and Net88 and I were heading back to the highway when we spotted this icon all by itself. Detour!

I parked us as close as we could and with our torch, followed the GPSr across the park, into the trees and down to the waterline. With a look about, we spotted nothing. Every time we moved we had to share seeing where we were placing feet as outside of the torch beam, it was hyper dark. We moved along the bank a few metres, looking all about but not finding the cache.

I ended up doing a bit of a solo mission and eventually spotted the cache and not exactly where I'd have expected to. All in good condition and once signed we took the direct route back to the car. TFTC turdodine Smile

Found this cache whilst down on the Gold Coast with Captain Terror. We were starting to head home after an afternoon of really nice caches. It was getting late and very dark so we started heading home. We saw that this cache was sitting out alone so decided it would be rude to not get it.

We parked the car and headed over towards GZ. I started regretting doing this one in the dark, with only one torch. We had to take turns in seeing where we were going, which in the end honestly ended up with me standing in one spot and the Captain rock and root hopping around me Razz

The cache was eventually found and the logbook was signed and the cache replaced as found, then it was a very straight and direct route straight to the car. Thanks for the cache turdodine.
 
02-Sep-13
This was our first hunt! We gave up after 40 mins and went home for more info. Came back with more people who also struggled! Until ... Our friend Mr Squidrow appeared with all his discovery gear on and reread all the clues, finding it in about 10 mins! As we didn't know what we were expecting, we were disappointed when we couldn't find it. It is a hard one to start with I think, but we will look for another tomorrow with a completely different way of looking at things... Bit nervous of venturing into undergrowth on account of snakes season coming up but so exciting to finally find!

Got it, once again forgot to bring a poem to sign the log
 
05-Aug-13
Geo Wife was out doing some shopping for our teenage daughters birthday and we had to pick up at least one for today to keep up with the August Challenge so she took a detour and headed here.

Thanks MonkeyMaker for bringing this one back to life, shame you couldn't update the hint but it was still easy to find.

Thanks Turdodine TFTC SL TNLN Maybe you could update the Hint and maybe the coords.

Visiting from Newcastle, found with my brother (frayeromm) from Nerang, TFTC turdodine!!
 
21-Jul-13
Couldn't find it off original description but read logs and found it complete with little green dinosaur. Thanks for relocation!
 
11-Jul-13
I arrived in the Gold Coast this afternoon and went for a walk; a big walk. All the way from Australia Fair to here via a lot of caches. My legs were very tender from prior days of caching in Brisbane. I searched and searched and didn't find a cache. I ready the MM01's log and eventually managed to locate the cache. I am VERY grateful for MM01 for replacing the container, presumably complete with little green dinosaur. I wish you'd have replaced a few others down this way cause I had a frustrating time at a few.
 
01-Jul-13
I visited a mate this afternoon who lives up the road. We came down here so his dog could go for a swim. I ended up telling him about Geocaching and that there was one here. So while the dog swimmed in the river we looked around the tree again in the rain. Obviously we didn't find it but on returning home he gave me a empty medicine container.
So when I left I went back down and hid the container with a log sheet inside. I guess the CO doesn't play anymore anyway. It's such a nice spot and it started quite a few years ago so it would be a shame to loose it. It's not at the large tree as there is to many holes around it. Looking back towards the road it's at the base of a tree to the right under a rock.
Thanks turbodine for the hide
 
16-May-13
Maintenance or archiving for this one i think
 
01-May-13
This was last found 16 months ago and with plenty of recorded DNF's and probably others not recorded maybe it should be put to rest to save other searchers
 
09-Apr-13
Even though this one had a few DNFs I thought while I'm in the area i'd take a look away. It hasn't been found for well over a year now and it probably doesnt help with the amount of leaf litter and shedded bark all over the place. I spent about 40 mins digging and scratching around in all the likely stops but no good. Recommend maintenance or archiving. It's a pitty though. Great location.
 
10-Dec-12
this cache was not any were to be found Sad tryed to find with The Hair Bear.
 
20-May-12
Stumbled on this one as Gloria Garmin was taking us all over the place. We are sure we were in the right spot but no cache to be found, searched the base of every tree near GZ to no avail, has it gone missing?
 
24-Mar-12
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 spent heaps of time on this and couldn't find it, I wonder if it was washed away with all the rain we've had.

Thanks turdodine
 
Found during our Great Aussie Adventure Road Trip. Signed log: TNGD. TFTC!
 
09-Jul-11
Took me a while to find the cache partly because i sat on it! TFTH
 
02-Jul-11
Out caching with Mischievous Maverick today - the other halfs are back home shopping and doing other boring stuff. Such an appropriately named park. This place is so beautiful. Would have been happy just to have visited. Log book and indeed the whole cache is wet so MM added a new notebook in a new baggie with a silica gel pack but that is probably just a cheap bandaid. TFTH Smile
 
On a weekend Geocaching with MrsGreenGeckos on the Gold Coast - and having left the spouses to their own devices - we found this one after being sniffed out by a beautiful little mugglehound.

We replaced the log book and bag containing it and placed a silica gel packet in the bag with the new one. We also drop in a PLASTIC snake and a couple of dinosaurs. (Also palstic, by the way,) Smile
 
28-May-11
Found it fairly easily this morning...

Cache was soon to hand but signing log was not so easy as it was very wet...

Luckily Gunnie69 had a gel pen that was capable of writing on wet paper..

TNLNSL

Thanks turdodine for the cache
 
28-May-11
A very tranquil spot early on a Saturday morning. The cache proved little trouble for Kaisho53 and I but, the log was a different story. Seems that the recent rains have got into this one and the log book was difficult to scribe on. We managed to get ink on there but, it was not easy... Sad

Cheers turdodine.
 
02-May-11
It was the wrong season for mangoes but that is an impressive tree. The cache took some convincing to come out of it's hidey hole. Thanks turdodine
 
12-Mar-11
Muggles in the park - but were thankfully not near GZ. Someone had been drinking at GZ so I did a bit of CITO while I was there. I found the cache after a bit of a hunt. It was a fair bit damp - but still usable. Some nice views of the river from here. TFTC turdodine and zactyl Smile
 
25-Feb-11
Found in a nice area. LOG VERY WET SL TFTC
 
24-Jan-11
It was almost silent here, with only the sound of the birdlife. The cache was firmly wedged in place and needed to turn it around to get it out. The log is wet, but the swaps are still dry. Thanks for the cache.
 
08-Jan-11
Found with Bedmaker.
This was a beautiful spot!
The log book was very wet though.
 
08-Jan-11
Found this with TassieGirl13.
What a nice little spot, plenty of water today too after all the rain.
Should have brought a fishing rod.
Cache was nicely hidden away, nice little spot. TFTC.
 
05-Jan-11
Back to find this cache once and for all. Unable to sign log because it was too wet. Can't believe we didn't find it before as it was right under our nose! TFTC Smile
 
29-Dec-10
nup couldn't find it! Sad
We knew we were close but the gps lost its signal under all the trees.
Looked around all the gum trees but we couldn't see it oh well maybe next time!

This was cache # 16 of 24 for the day, on a great day out caching around the Gold Coast. A nice walk to the cache under the cover of my umbrella. My thanks to turdodine & zactyl for the cache.
 
25-Aug-10
15th of 29 for the day with two of my kids, James and Jasmine on a bit of a Gold Coast onslaught. Limited to traditionals pretty much with the kids. Impressed with the number of parks around the area. Sensational. TFTC.

A nice hide for this one, but the log was damp. Fortunately the stamp works where pens often don't. Thanks to turdodine & zactyl for the cache.

#4342 Found this cache as part of a recent brissy raid along with Steeba and Big Matt. As the otheres said, its very wet. I think the tide has got too high. It does need some maintenance
thanks
 
22-Jul-10
Found this cache with steeba and The Rats on our 2010 Brisbane Invasion Trip. This was our 4137th overall find.

Found at about 10:54 AM. A nice little spot by the river. Found without any issues but the log is nice and wet on this one.

Thanks to turdodine & zactyl for the cache.

22-Jul-10
Found with The Rats and Big Matt as The Gangsters on our Brisbane invasion trip.

Liked this one as it was near Ainlsey Park and Ainsley Street. Nice spot down on the water although the log is soaked.

Did some bush regeneration by ripping out some lantana in the area. TFTC!
 
17-Jul-10
Nice place for a house! If only! TFTC - but log is so wet we couldn't sign.
 
Beautiful spot great play ground for the kids pitty the log was so wet we couldn't sign the log (this river must fill up during wet season).

Found the Cache but couldn't sign the log as everything was damp. Sad But the park was lovely and I had never been there before and lived just round the corner some years back. Beautiful mango tree. Thank you
 
25-May-10
Very wet log needs some dry out time ASAP
 
25-May-10
Once again tipped out the water, the lid really will not shut properly had to force it to snap, log is really wet and almost impossible to sign. TLC required
 
22-May-10
Very tranquil setting, but unhappily, the neighbours' tranquility was shattered by a couple of jetskis doing 'donuts' in the river. Wouldn't you love that at 6:45 on a Saturday morning [:(!]? Cache had some water in it. Tipped that out, but the logbook could do with some TLC. TN/LN/SL Thanks for the location. It really is a lovely spot.
 
13-May-10
It's wet.
Thanks for showing that place!

11-Apr-10
The container and log book are wet. I dried it out as much as possible, replaced a pen and sealed it in another plastic bag. Took plastic Ben 10 & car & left a plane and bird.
