A have a feeling this one has been muggled.
We looked all around where the co-ordinates were, to no avail.

Like others before us, we discovered GZ to be out in the middle of the car park, so we followed the advice from previous logs and searched amongst the nearby trees. There's obviously been a lot of kids playing in there over summer, and a thorough search did not reveal any caches. We fear that this one has probably gone.
like the other logs we searched the dunes, under the trees etc...recent grading of the carpark after flooding?, too much broken glass under the trees and couldn't find any scattered cache.. think this one may be lost?
I agree the co-ords are about 5-10 meters out. But you just have to look at those nice trees next to the car park to figure out where it is.
GZ puts you in the car park so just look where you would like to adventure to if you were 12 years old.
Watch out for the mossies.... just keep on dancing....
Thanks howey for a great cache.... It was heaps of fun.

Being careful of mugglers, we were able to add this cache to our list. Good thing we did it at this time of year, as the mugglers in holiday season would be a real problem. Thanks howey for the cache and bringing us here.
My GPS was waaay out, but 8yo geokid went on the hunt - found the cache container and contents scattered all about GZ. Found as much as we could see that belonged and hid again in appropriate place. T - steam train trackable, L - toys, SL. TFTC
Found at 1150hrs
Little miss 3 decided we needed to collect sea shells, great day for it, wet, windy and about 8C. So if I had to endure that kind of weather I was going to get the cache while I was here. Quite find once the muggles where lookong the other way.

My two boys (7&9) found this Cache while playing; No GPS required! They brought it to me and I recognised it for what it was. I have a GPS and have been thinking of giving GeoCaching a go. After explaining it to my children and wife today they are keen to give it a go, so lucky find really. Thanks
Found at 12:52am in the wind and rain after a very poor nights surf fishing. Didn't get a single bite all night only crabs and seaweed but did manage to find a few caches in the dark so still came home happy despite the lack of fish and being rain out. TFTC TN Left: Microcoin
Cache no 499.
Interesting history of Seaspray. Today was Mothers Day with quite a few families celebrating in the area. As noted by others, there is a way of getting to this cache using the natural cover. Problems were, getting good GPS signals. Anyway, we got there and found the well hidden cache. TNLN SL TFTC Howie

3 Car loads of Square Dancers decided to go caching for the day. This was our 3rd cache find for the day. We had 4 GPS units and they were all pointing towards the middle of the car park, but there was nothing there. Used my geo-sense and said it had to be under the nearby tree. Searched around and then was lucky to find the cache in the middle of the tree.

Out and about with Toy Car, Siver Dice and co. for a square dance convention weekend. Found by Toy Car after being directed by a team effort. Nice little park, observed by muggles so tactics were needed to distraction while search was carried out.
TNLN Thanks for the cache.
TNLN Thanks for the cache.
This one took a little bit of searching but we finally found it. This was our second attempt. A GPS certainly made the difference.
1158 I haven't done much caching this year, so I thought I'd torpedo a few blips on the radar. Dontchalovit when the GZ is no-where near where the GPS says it is. Easy enough find though. TN but left lanyard pen as swaps. TFTC Howey
Found this one today after kicking the geokids out at school - ah, the serenity of no helpers - after a bit of a walk around to avoid suspicion and after finding a more discreet way to the cache we had it in hand. Signed the log but took/swapped nothing in a sheltered spot. Thanks for the cache Howey! Elmer.
1600h. Boy does it blow a gale here. No wonder all the trees are bent over. Another great cache. This one is a goodie, heaps of muggles driving past on a very miserable windy day but no-one got out of their cars, except me. This one had me running around the carpark, toilet and shelter shed everytime a new bunch of muggles arrived. You should see my track log. Anyway, my first look should have been a quick find and back to the warmth, however I felt a bit guilty pokeing around where it looks like the local kids or visitors go to get away from prying eyes. If you know what I mean. T4TC
Well after shipwreck and maybe seeing Carpo's there my thoughts
were confirmed. Opened the logbook and Ahhhh Nooo! Well done
guys. I'll get the next one. Say hello next time. TN Left a yo-yo.

Sorry Jimmymaff!
Was up early this morning - Geobub didn't have a good night. So me and the Geokid packed up and hit the beach at about 0930.
A good hide - perfect for the little man. Went for a walk down to the beach post the hunt and was pleasantly surprised to see a huge pod of dolphins cruising up the beach.
Have not been down this way in ages - thanks for the impetus Howey!
Took marble, left space shuttle.
