Unable to follow up maintainence of this log. Sorry for any inconvenience. Happy Caching!!
Right behind you Fangsoki. I also downloaded this one and only noted a series of finds in the last few logs. So in I went for a fruitless find... 
After finding nothing and checking the logs, all became clear and I walked away cursing the owner for not disabling the cache... [B)]
Time to put it to bed. It was on private property anyway...

Well I was pretty happy I went looking for this.. not 
It would have helped if it was disabled or had a "needs maintennance" log. When I couldn't find it, I checked the logs and found the cache had been removed as someone stated it is on private property. As the cache owners have not logged in for 6 months - it might be a good idea to archive this one.

uummmm........had to do abit of dodging with security guard and council............but come up with a win........tftc
Good clue 
No security guards today so pinched their parking spot.
The pub up the road looks impressive but probably not when dressed for caching!

long last a tb in a cache after a day of none ..i think i deserve it as it has been raining all day and im soaked! TFTC
with Everlasting and Geodog, easy to find, but only found was plastic zip without cache... hide ok..
With All7, Beauty garden - colour too... The coordinate is not spot... SL. Thanks belpayne
Impressive hedging. Glad the security guard house was not being occupied at the time. TNLN TFTC
Do you know how hard it is to cache on a busy intersection when there is a car show on down the road. Beautiful garden. TFTC
Pretty spot. No one around on this Friday arvo. Guessed what the clue must mean. Found cache in very wet state so carried out some repairs- in- the- field. Removed some items and filled with others. New container and new log added. Plus new ziploc bag. Really needs to be in a drier spot. But worth keeping cache here for lovely drive through this area. Thanks again.

Found the cache with the help of the great clue ,cache was a little damp,with the lack of sun,it was a bit hard to dry it out,sorry
Fantastic . 400 caches for us today and had to laugh when we had to retreive the cache ,you will know what I am talking about when you find it
I was in the area on a bit of a cache hunt. The cache was in hand at no time.... once I found the way to it. TFTC
Upon opening the cache I found a couple of cache dwelling frogs (CDF). One of them hopped out to come with me to another cache.
A glow in the dark lizard hopped on in to keep the remaining CDF company.

"If you build it, he will come" whispered the voices as I wandered through the canefields [:o]
Build what ?
Who will come ?
Approaching GZ, I was amazed to see a clearing in the cane.
What folly was this ? [:o]
Surely this construction way out here on the desolate shores of southern Moreton Bay was the work of a man possessed.
Scattered around the banks of the newly excavated channels were strange monoliths.
More were under construction.
The overall effect was not unlike Stonehenge
At the entry to this area a large gateway proclaimed I was at Calypso Bay.
The cache wasn't far away !!
It's still a bit damp in there, but the logbook survives
TFTC and reason to visit one of the oddest housing development sites around !!

Quickly worked out where we thought the cache would be but before we could make our way to it a security guard pulled up in his car and we were asked to move on. As we drove past him he was making a note of our rego. We are now marked cachers! Once we reparked, the tide was out and we soon found the cache by approaching from the left and without having to vault over the pristine shrubs and bushes.
The log book is nice and dry in it's cozy ziplock bag however. TFTC.

Found this one after walking nervously through the long grass - I saw the news where the snakes are coming out of boggy areas because they are too wet. Found a way to get into and then through the large shrubs that branch out at ground level. Found the cache safe but a little damp. TN. L frog. TFTC.
Took the long way around via all the cameras but got there in the end. A quick one with SneakyKiwi helping fend off the rabid mosquitoes.

Found with Spirited Vacachener after a picnic lunch by the waters edge near the local pub.
Quick find, spurred on by a mosquito or hundred.

A nice day at in this area. Fish and chips at the boat ramp was very entertaining, very busy - there were boats everywhere.
AT LAST OUR HUNDREDTH cache. Nice easy cache. TFTC

Looks like the area is set for an influx. Nice area here, especially down the road a bit.
It seems that some non-cachers left their belongings nearby. If they want them I guess they'll collect them.
SL. Thanks for the cache, and a good reason (not that I needed one) to revisit the area.

I was thinking this one might be a bit sneakier than it was 
... so when I finally found it... Doh!! 
Thanks Belpayne for the cache.

GPS stuffing up again, I think I may have the wrong format. So will have another go at getting the correct ones this time.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Should be up and running again in the next day or two.

Don't know if it was the trees, or the small amount of cloud, but we hunted for nearly an hour. GPS had us 1 metre away (it said) but no luck. Maybe we'll try again.
