Yes it is officially missing. Will replace in a new spot when I get the chance.

potentially muggled as we found what looks like a card that we've seen in other caches.
Also found a couple of bongs...

When I saw this on the screen while visiting and caching I knew it had to be done but maybe we should have waited for a drier day, oh well it was great to revisit a much loved spot. Shame they have let the trees block the view. Easy find but why do people not hide caches where they are meant to be, I am sure they know out In the open is not where it was meant to be. TFTC
Found after getting the correct street! Google maps shows roads that don't appear to exist. Follow the instructions in the description. TFTC
A steep walk to the top of the hill but well worth it, stunning views and happy to find the cache.
Great views but so sad that this area is not maintained so well any more. Thanks for bringing us up here. SL TFTC zombywoof1954
Out for a beautiful day of caching with WhiteHouse4U. We did about 20 around the loop and certainly enjoyed the sights in this beautiful area. Thanks so much to TooDogs for placing these caches that two cachers from the US could find without the aid of a smart phone or iPad. Dropped a TB here that needed miles.
Nice cache with some great gifts. I had none to offer so I drew a spider in the log. Tftc
Find #25. Nice easy find in a very lovely location. No one around so made for easy scavenging.
It is back to how the day started – Solo! I began in the Murwillimbah area at 3:30am – and it is now 10pm. A long, long day of caching (in fact my longest and most finds in my current caching history). But there is always time to squeeze in a few more!
Wow it is amazing how far you can be thrown by a simple mis-reading of a hint! Not the 'Leg' apparently! I spent ages searching for one! As I looped around in the rain getting very tired at the end of a long day _ finally reread the hint....Doh!
Shortly after an 'unmuggled' find was found.
Thanks for the hide - my last for the long long day!

Down for a weekend taking in the sights of the Northern Rivers and to tackle Mt Warning so what better to do on the way.
This was a top spot to call into to check out the views of what would be tomorrow's challenge. The cache was right were I would have expects, not where my GPS suggested

Geo Wife and I had a day to ourselves and the Lolly Loop and it's other caches were still on our unfound list so we headed South hoping for a great day.
WOW!!!! Talk about swirls we now know why it's called that. We went round and around and in and out and it seemed every time we were getting near GZ we either got to a One Way the wrong way or a dead end or the map didn't line up with where we were.
Finally we found the in road and found ourselves at GZ.
Geo Wife found the prize and we sat down to check it out, it seemed as if the local riff raff are still playing around as we found part of a burrito inside the container and some rubbish was left outside the container as well.
Luckily they had decided to leave the log book so we signed it.
We cleaned the cache as best we could and placed a bit more camo over it hoping to protect it.
Thanks Zomby Woof TFTC SL TNLN

Think the local riff-raff muggles like to play with this one - I threw the sharp knife I found inside, in the bin. Open with caution
This cache took us so long to get to gz with all the one way streets. Easy find once we got there

Found with Brother Colin, on our Christmas Cache holiday. Wonderful view from the lookout.
Day four of the Xmas road trip.
Mum has recently bought a van to travel around Australia in a few months time.
So a test run was needed. [^]
So a few days were planned to head south from Brissy and travel from cache to cache.
On Xmas Day we slowly we made our way south to Byron Bay and then up to Brunswick Heads looking for a caravan park to stay for the night without success. Eventually we found space at Wooyung.
Boxing day had us making our way slowly north going from cache to cache. It seems every caravan park up the coast is full so we decided to head inland, eventually finding space in Murwillumbah. Lots of caches out this way as well. [^]
Yesterday I had to go to work at the Gold Coast. Back today to find more caches over the week-end.
Day four had us having a slow start to the day. A quick find after checking out the view from the nearby lookout. Grabbed the TB from here as well.
Thanks for the cache.

Out galavanting today. Heading south to fill in an empty box in my finds by date placed box. There was only one car at the lookout, but it left when I arrived. Nice view, but it was a bit hazy this afternoon. Found with the help of the clue. Swapped TBs
Nice easy find on a Sunday morning. TFTC. Left travel bug "Slash"

Decided to go on a drive in an area South of the Gold Coast today, collecting mainly drive by type caches, with 3 of the kiddies on board. Grabbed quite a few finds for the day, and one DNF, but that happens. Good weather, good time driving around. We even grabbed three of those finds at night. Thanks to all cache owner for hiding and maintaining their caches. TFTC.

Pretty cool park up here. Kids made the find, and we had a short break. TFTC.

While visiting Murwillumbah for a short visit, found this cache with no problem. TFTC
Our first ever Geocache find .... The family is already hooked !
Thanks for reminding us of fun places we have in our own backyard!

Kids were so excited about this cache after spotting that it recently had new swag.
Nice easy find after kids had yummy chips under the shelter waiting for muggles to leave.
Kids were super disappointed in the "swag", really guys a single broken barbie shoe? A rock... Random plastic toy shoe, single loose battery, broken bit of chalk.
We cito and left yoyo, notepad, fish hooks.....

Tom Tom took to this park. One muggler sitting in his car talking to himself on a voice recorder. Loot found with very little trouble. Forgot to take a pen but there was one in the Cache. Signed the log and left. Muggler was still taking to himself. TFTC Gotcha16
Eureka. Quick find in between jobs Lovely spot - you'd go a long way through the Far North Coast before you find such a pretty place as Murwillumbah ! Find was easy. Some attention might be required soon as rot is setting in around the immediate environment. Emcountered a muggle having lumch but he wasn't paying much attention .
Finished netball with geo niece in Murwillumbah - so before heading back to Tweed took the track up to the look out. Good little hide - thanks zombywoof1954.
This was a quick find, however the TB that is listed is not in the container, and the log looks to be near to full.

Nice one - thanks for the hunt. Nighttime raid and geogirls too scared to come with so father son it was. Co- ords spot on! TNLN, SL - TFTC!!
I was with Gaz'n'Kab today grabbing caches all around Murwillumbah and this one was next. Between Gaz's terrible memory and the GPSr having roads marked that did not exist and coming at this one from an odd direction, we took a few wrong turns before getting the right road to the lookout. Once there though, I dashed out towards GZ and after checking a few spots, had the cache in hand. A wet day out, but still made sure to check out the magnificent view from the lookout. Thanks for bringing me here, I'd have not found it otherwise. TFTC zombywoof1954
Just driving through and noticed the big hill. Just looks like a residential spot. Nice little gem. Found cach nice and quick took in the view and headed home. TFTC.
Found this one when we called into Mull for an icecream on the way back home from mount warning. Never new this place was here, thanks for bringing me here. TFTC??
On our way to Surfers for Xmas & stopped over to do a few caches.
Just on dusk we went up to the lookout to find this cache, the lights of the town are very pretty. A great spot for a cache
Found the cache quite easily & met another cacher there who had found it about 5 years ago.

Visiting from Newcastle, house-sitting in Kingscliff, enjoying the area, TFTC zombywoof1954!!
Great look out, we meet two locals, one who had lived here for 50 years. No TB found
It took us so long to find this spot because we were trying to walk there from the hospital...but once we got there we found the cache in no time thanks to the hint.
All day and there had not been a cache big enough for this TB with a difference. A diary. Knew that this cache was big enough!
Early this morning we dropped off CZech Gecko, as it was prior to breakfast CZech Gecko was a bit peckish, here he can be seen waiting for something to eat.
The last of nine for the day, taking my total to 40.
I wasn't ging to venture here but after being attacked by bees at the Ghost Cache and still not having had any lunch because the Red Rattler was closed, I still needed one more cache and some lunch.
Found this quickly having walked here a few times with an old friend who lives down below, and then to The Modern Grocer for a snack. Try the chocolate coated figs if you're nearby. TFTC.

Another fantastic spot that Geocaching has taken me to that I wouldn't have known about. After signing the logbook, Ms Wig and I wandered over to take in the view.
Thanks for bringing us here zombywoof1954

What a beautiful area to visit, just wish I had found it before setting up the BBQ at another picnic spot, never mind this is earmarked for next time I'm down this way. A quick find today TFTC
Location, location location ....fantastic views and secluded making for an easy find. Swaps bag needs replacing, unfortunately did not have a suitable bag with me. Thanks for the cache zombywoof1954
Most of the trouble was finding the road to get to the GZ. First we walked up a set of steps which only led us to the local hospital, so we resorted to the car navigator and that tried to send us up a strange narrow lane. In the end we went quite a circle to get there. Disturbed a local in a car who took off with his passenger door open.
Did not find any trackables.
After visiting national parks in Queensland, including Blackdown Tableland, Isla Gorge, Bunya Mountains and Lamington, we headed down to the Warrumbungles. On the way we went for a walk to The Cougals.

Found 5pm. Enjoyed the view while waiting for muggle to leave. Cache in good condition. Brought through GC and TB. Tnlnsl tftc
Campervan parked at showground, so walked up here with geodog. Quite a hike, counting the false start up wrong road. Easy find once we got there. Beautiful view from top. TFTC
SO CONFUSING with all the one way streets and not being familiar with the area. Ended up at a few dead ends trying to get up there. Once we got up there we found it soon enough - now how do we get out of here??
Loved the view here.
Found cache safe and dry.
Out with IareKT.
Thanks Zombywoof1954.

Quick find after getting a bit lost finding the right road to get up here, on a big day of caching with PPTrekerz. TFTC!
We were made to feel that we were trespassing when we arrived near GZ. A turkey took great exception to our presence and tried to sacre us off. The ruse didn't work and teh turkey retreated to a safe distance. The hint and accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and its contents were in good condition. TFTC zombywoof1954.
We attempted this at about lunch time but had a bit of trouble just finding a road to get us close to the cache!
However, we came back later in the afternoon with more time and succeeded - It seemed to be quite a trek from Bent Street though! Took a badge and left a feather.

Found a convenient place to park, located the cache, took a seat to sign the log and found myself being serenaded by a Magpie sitting near my feet. He was a very brave bird, he made his way up onto the table and serenaded me again. Then wandered around behind my right shoulder to see what I was doing. Once I'd returned the cache to its hiding place, the Magpie followed me back the to car. Very friendly bird - while its not nesting season. TFTC
