Admins need for review this cacher hasn’t been active for 3 years and the cache needs maintenance or archiving.
Eventually figured it out but couldn’t find log and I’m pretty sure the place we found used to be it
First time geocaching, so might be that but state of site + previous logs suggest it's not where it should be.
Found it. But no log, and contents were all over the place. Definitely needs maintenance
Looks like the area has been used by youths having a good time. Pretty sure this is not here but not really safe to go through area (could be needles or anything in there)
Definitely need to have maintenance done as I’m sure this has been vandalised. Was supposed to be a trackable in it too

Looked like there were police nearby this cache ... Felt very awkward finding this cache! TFTC
Found with my Geo-helper. The ninja turtle mask definitely helped give away the hiding spot

What a nice walk. Hear the hussle and bussle of the highway....but still nice

On my way to the mornings monthly Geo-Meeting, I thought I would snag a couple of caches along the way.
Well, this was a surprisingly nice walk, and as soon as I got to GZ I actually spotted the hide, but immediately disregarded it and went around hunting for other spaces.
Well, after looking under rocks & logs, I didn’t find it. Quickly running out of time, I had a brief look at the hint then immediately realized my mistake.
Of course it’s there!
Signed the log, out everything back in order, and off I went to the meeting! TFTC!

Found at 9.15am with RoddyC and hatzofff before the geocaching meeting today. Searched around until Hatzofff commented about something not being right and sure enough, there was the cache.
SL then returned as found.

Going to event in Helensvale so decided to some around there TFTCoz_scotts #1017 D2
There is a meet up today at Helensvale, so some caching before and after is on order.
Parked on the horizontal level and set off in search of the cache. After a bit of a wander, Hatzofff found the hide.

Great cache. Haven't seen one like that before. Lid was upside down which gave us some trouble. Took TB to move along. TFTC
StephLego went shopping so we had time for one cache WillPunkeys cousin joined us for the hunt. Left a TB that i have had for too long
After parking where my gps took me, I was wondering why this was only a 1.5 terrain while I was scrambling up a goat track on the side of the hill. I persevered anyway only to get to the top on the wrong side of a fence. So, down again I went and actually looked for where I was supposed to be! Off I went and parked for a second time and after a quick stroll, soon had the cache in hand! Don’t blindly trust your gps people! #cachelife
I was out with Selva Girls caching in the area today, clearing boxes off the map and claiming smilies. We parked nearby and approached gz. We did quite a bit of hunting before the obvious presented itself and we found the container. Tftc Oz-scotts
Out for a day of caching with stortigirls. I parked the geomobile and we strolled to GZ. Once there, we searched for some time before stortigirls spotted somewhere we hadn't ssearched. Of course, the cache was there! With our names in the logbook, we headed back tot he geomobile and continued on our way. TFTC
Over from the UK for a few weeks and thought we would look for our nearest cache. Two of us walked up from Bathurst Court. Not to be advised. Looked for some time and had to record a DNF.
Winding my way down to the end of the road, I pulled up and wandered up to GZ. There were some good views all around, and it was interesting to see this location up close having passed by it on the freeway below. I could see it on approach as the cover was off, but I popped it back on after the signing duties were completed.
The cache was found on 09/07/2017 at 9:55:00 AM.
Thanks to Oz-Scotts for placing this cache.

Day one of geocaching and we're loving it. So far, fun and easy. Thanks creator.
This was a nice spot with good views around here. I found the cache and logged it, but unfortunately the opening of the cache disturbed a lizard who became fatally injured in the process so I felt sad about that. Sorry lizard friend...

After my experience here today I'm convinced the title should be HELL's Towers!
We parked the Geo-Beast, looked UP the hill & Geo-Mamma opted to stay with the Geo-Beast & keep Winter the Geo-Cat company while I set out to burst a lung.
Seriously, I'm getting too old & unfit for this type of 'abuse'! LOL ...
By the time I got to GZ, which was quickly located once I was at the top, I was gasping for breath!
LOL ...
Great views from here & I took a moment to enjoy them while I recovered from the recent exhausting ascent.
The cache was soon found as someone had left the cover off.
Made our mark & replaced as found but with the lid on.

Now there's a container that won't be blown or washed away in a hurry. Nice views. TFTC.
Up from Melbourne visiting some family and I thought I'd grab a cache or two. Not being familiar with the area I followed my gps and started climbing up a fairly steep hill and omg I began to have a workout lol... Reached the top and making my way around the fence and getting closer to gz and wiping the sweat of my brow pmsl, not use to this QLD weather. I neared gz and finally found what I was looking for. I signed the log and left a team smokey-bear path tag. Thanks for the fun and adventure. After showing my family where I had been and which way I went they chuckled and said there was an easier way to get there, oh well found and signed. Thanks Oz-scotts for the adventure.
Great views from the top of the hill this afternoon. A very interesting container. Thanks Oz-Scotts.
Took aaages to find but was worth it. Very smart place to put a geocache. If you're having trouble, just think, it is really obvious.
Have taken Platypus - I believe he has had quite a travelling life - will move him on to a new spot shortly - i have a spot in mind that is in a high tourist spot so he may hitch a lift and get to Emerald
Love the cache... now that's something I haven't seen before. Out with my eldest son caching this morning. Great views / spot. TFTC !!!
Great view from the tower. After a long day of geocaching, my legs were feeling the weight, but a quick and easy find was refreshing. TFTC
Found with geo dogs Snickers & Bounty on an early morning visit to the neighbourhood, top views and TFTC
