Sorry but had enough of playing games. We have moved this cache 5 times and someone keeps tracking it down. Just removing the log and leaving the container. We have removed it. Maybe someone else will come up with something better.

Excited to be first to sign the new log & in the new location. Big Grin Found after attending a 1st birthday party in the park. Very windy, so weather not very pleasant - swans mostly hiding. Cache tin lid came off when we opened it, a bit rusty - may need a new one soon. Wink

10-Oct-12
Our last day on the Sunshine Coast before we head back down to freezing cold Canberra, so we decided to do a few quick caches. We parked fairly close to this one and made a quick find. There was absolutely nothing in the cache at all, so we found a scrap of paper to use as a log. TNLNSL TFTC

Nice easy find, brought along some family members to introduce them to the fun! Lovely location for a picnic.
 
22-Sep-12
We found this cache with no difficulty. The last time we were at this site it was a dismal looking place, now it is a delightful park. I was surprised it was not getting more use on such a lovely day. The ducks were keen to make our aquantance.
 
16-Sep-12
I had found this cache the day before but due to no log book couldn't sign my name. I returned today and placed a sheet of paper in the cache as a log. Hope this helps. Great spot for a cache, the munchkins loved playing in the nearby park and it was nice and close to the hotel we were staying in.

We had a wonderful day of caching in this vibrant and scenic part of Queensland. We loved the Sunshine Coast when we were here back in 2007 and it is still as lovely especially on a bright sunny day like today. We enjoyed finding this well hidden cache. We had to replace the log as the original had gone missing.
Thanks to Green Team 2.

REplaced the log with a temp one as we were passing. Why the log would be removed is hard to work out. Replaced cache where it should be. Happy Caching.

Got chased by crazy birds!!

Staying at the conference centre; had to wander down and grab this one. As my iPhone got closer, it was trying to tell me to swim out to the island! Thank goodness for the hint and common sense. I found it immediately without having to look down which is always good. All fine here though it seems perhaps some muggles have also signed the log. TFTC!

SmileI downloaded this GC to my Garmin last year, looked for a while and we couldn' find it, so checked some more logs on my mobile phone and realised the co-ordinates had been changed. I put the new co-ordinates in, then we found it straight away, although we had to wait for the muggles to move.

Went down today to fix this cache as per previous log. Once we found the cache with was laying in the open in the fork of a tree and not under the railing where it should be we found the cache to be all good. We have moved it to a new location. S 26 40.060, E 153 06.302. We also removed the TB or what was left of it. Only the tag was remaining.
 
26-Apr-12
Lots of damage from the high amount of rain so couldn't find. Far to messy and dangerous for kids to tramp around.
 
26-Apr-12
Great one to start Geocache. Kids loved it.
 
26-Apr-12
Easy one. Lovely park.
 
11-Apr-12
We didn't find it due to a muggle who had set themself up nearby without intention of moving on. There is only so subtle you can be with kids in tow. We will save this for the next time we visit the area!

We were visiting the Sunshine Coast to find some frogs taking part in Geocaching Australia's Leapfrog Caching Game http://www.cachinggames.com/leapfrog/ and decided to look for new caches in the area while in the vicinity. We took a short walk along the path and saw an interesting bronze sculpture of egrets taking flight. The cache was easily found and we were off again to hunt down some more frogs. TFTC
