No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

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 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Owner hasn't logged on for 8 months - ignored calls for maintennance. Can this be archived so more cachers dont waste their time?

Had a good look around with Purnellclan with no success. Got some funny looks from Mums dropping kids off at school. Heavy traffic. Had a giggle to self after reading Fangsoki's log.

Any chance the owner could this one out - or archive? Thanks.

Got to GZ on this one - thankfully it was childless. Seemed in the middle of nowhere. Checked the hint. Looked around. You have GOT to be kidding me.

Now those that know me - know that I am not the slightest of lads - so anyone that saw me would have been having a giggle. I got to where I thought GZ was. Hmmm nothing. Looked around more.. still nothing. I am afraid its a big DNF for me too. TFTH pezacide - its been a while since I did that

Too good for Kaisho53 and I today. We took the hint, previous logs and other snippets of information into account and headed in. Climbed this, scaled that, looked under things, over things and in things. The cache was not willing to come out and play...

Interesting hide that with so many muggles hanging around here it can remain hidden safely. Sent in the geokids for this one, and they had it in hand quickly. Thanks to pezacide.

Easy

Sneaky hide. Did not plan on doing what was required to get this one but it was fun to do it. TFTC

Dropped out to this cache with Bristracker today as we were going past. Had seen the logs saying magnet was missing. We did a bit of cache repair and glued more magnets to the cache so hopefully it will retain it's place. Happy caching!

This was cache # 11 of 15 finds on a day caching around the Gold coast. Terrain 2, no this should be a 5, I am getting to old for this, hehe. I had no trouble finding the cache, but noticed the magnet was no longer there. My thanks to Pezcore for the cache.

We believe we found it but could not retrieve it.
Will come back one day with younger folks
prepared to help us.

When you find this cache ,you will know that it is not for little old ladies ,sure glad that caching is done out of the public eye

Second go at this one as there we too many mugglets the last time we were here. This time the place was deserted and we soon had the cache located. To get to it Mr Herbz had to do something he's not done for a while. Good fun though. TFTC.

The magnet is missing......

Nice cache but its needs some TLC. TFTC Pezcore

Just catching up on caches i haven't logged. Signed log on 27/6/10 tftc

Quick find with the help of The Bearz. They are quicker and younger than I !!

Awesome Park. after checking out all the equipment we started the hunt for the cache. After checking to co-ords to make sure they were right, i soon had the cache in hand.
sl
thanks for bringing us here

Nice location, kids had a nice time finding this one

found easy, told kids to go and play whilst i get a pen and before I had locked the car they were back with the cache.TFTC kids stayed for a play as well.

Nice hide, found by Tyra [^]

TFTC SL TN LN

TFTC, don't know who had more
Fun at the park my 3yo or me. SL

Even though there was no-one within 100+ metres of me - Did I feel conspicuous signing this log!
Nice hide.

Never played on one of those before . I suspect your terrain rating could be raised a bit, but the difficulty gives the game away. Fairly easy find by the light of my headlight. Plenty of passing cars, so had to switch on and off regularly while reaching, signing and replacing the cache. TN/LN/

Whoo hoo - an excuse to act like a big kid!!! Luckily, there was no-one around to frown

TNLNSL - TFTC

too many muggles today

I decided to do a night raid on this cache on the way back from Broadbeach.... and I am glad I chose night time to go hunting.

This spot has the potential to be muggle central during the daylight hours and a bit of energetic searching is required to track down the hiding spot.

TFTC. TNLN.

I normally avoid these areas when I am on my own.... not a good look However, as there was no one around at all, I had a quick look.

Read the clue and eventually worked out what I had to do... and then I was really glad there was no one else around

Thanks pezacide

Took a while due to muggles in the area, but found quickly after a short of a wait.

It was good to get a find after two consecutive DNFs today. I'd dispute the difficulty rating of this one, it seemed quite straightforward to me at least; also, I would probably call this a micro.
The GeoToddler just loved this playground. Thanks for bringing us here, Pezcore!

Beautiful playground for good kids...........easy found cache with geofriend

ya . found another one ....another great park we have never been to .
if you think like a kid and climb high it will be a easy find ........

Located it fairly easily,, Getting to it was another story, but I managed.

TFTC

No luck even with geodad clambering to the top of the equipment with the geokids!

Tried to find at night...
... think we may have seen it but disregarded it as a part of the equipment!
Maybe another time!

What a lovely park. Well retrieving the cache is certainly not suitable for pregnant women! I sent my hubby on the challenge of getting to this one. Eatmorchikin loved the challenge in getting to this one and stated that it was a very very clever hide indeed. TFTC...We were staying at the Radisson Resort just down the road for a Swarovski function, so decided to grab some caches whilst on the coast .. eatmorchikin & Stigglepot

Found it No. 2181 ... no kids today ... TNLN

Out and about today on the Gold Coast, bristracker had more success than usual.Found at 1445 hrs. On this one was Byway Rambler was chauffeur and remained in geovehicle while bristracker tackled the playground equipment. A muggle family thought bristracker was some kind of inspector but the cunning of the geocachers runs in bristracker's veins and she had a ready answer. Said she was devising games for adults and had to try out the equipment first. Also recommended the Fairy Park to the muggles, but they knew it of yore. TFTC.

Too many muggles today. Well be back!

FTF jointly with The Byway Rambler. How did I miss logging this? Great cache location requiring a bit of a challenge to retrieve. TFTC!

FTF today. Very happy about that. I went at a terrible time for muggles and had to come back. Getting to this cache took me right back to my childhood, and that's quite a distance. It's probably the reason I pulled a muscle in my back. TFTC. SL.
