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 28 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 listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Did a fair bit of searching but feel this has been taken
 
02-Mar-20
First time geocaching, so might be that but state of site + previous logs suggest it's not where it should be.
 
01-Mar-20
Found it. But no log, and contents were all over the place. Definitely needs maintenance
 
26-Feb-20
Found it, however everything was out of the box.
 
19-Feb-20
Found location, cache missing.
 
06-Feb-20
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
 
25-Dec-19
Believe remnants only left
 
26-Oct-19
Looks like the local homeless hangout, not sure if its meant to.

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.

Found on 27 April 2019. TFTC, Oz-scotts.

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.

Log signed and replaced on April 27, 2019 at 9:16 AM. TFTC, Oz-scotts.

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
 
05-Jan-19
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
 
01-Jan-19
Don’t give up!

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 Big Grin

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

Nice walk to cache. OMG nearly busted my nails. Foundd with uksquirrel.
 
09-Jul-17
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.
 
01-Jul-17

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...

**Smilie #4972**

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. Sad
Made our mark & replaced as found but with the lid on. Smile

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.

I walked past it and kicked it. Seriously didn't think it opened.
 
17-Jul-16
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.
