Due to low numbers of Cachers looking for this Cache I have decided to Archive it and categorize it as a Traditional instead of a Puzzle..
My theory is that Geocachers traveling through are not going to bother with Puzzle Caches unless they are here for quite a while.
Hopefully the new listing will be up soon.

Thanks to previous logs I took some gardening gloves which made it easier to poke, prod and lift. Very appropriate title I still didn't locate the cache however and might wait until the wreck rusts away a little more so there's less to search before venturing back Not sure if the difficulty 4 is due to the puzzle or the actual hide but considering I couldn't find 1.5 difficulties today I didn't really have a hope of finding a 4. More practice then I'll be back Geopup enjoyed the spot!
Solved this one quite a while ago before leaving Tassie. Spent a long time searching and must have covered every bit of that damned thing! Glad our tetanus shots are up to date. Thanks, I think.
Three trips 2.5 hrs looking, 1000 's of miggie bits and a hint finally found excellent hide TFTC
Finally had a little bit of time off today and got around to getting some more caches. Have always meant to get this on my way into Gladdy but always either missed the turn off or simply just forgot.
Road was a little washed out from the rain but my falcon got into the location easy enough. After searching for at least 45-60min was just about to give up but convinced myself to stay for another 5 min, and finally cache was found!!! Very well hidden!! But alas my pen stopped working so will have to return at another date to sign the log. Fav point added for making me look so damn long!

Well from all the logs I thought this one was going to take some time, But it seems that my Father (Tui65) has taught me too much when it comes to Geocaching, after arriving at GZ i was searching for about 15 minutes then cache was in hand.
TFTC!
P.S For those of you who are reading my log an think my Father (TUI65) gave me hints and clues he dosent he treats me the same as if it were you looking for the cache.

It's been a while since anyone logged this one so I thought I would stop in and check it (was driving past anyway) it's still there, right where I put it.. The wreck is looking a bit battered and beaten though, some of you cachers must be getting a little frustrated lol
Spent a lot of time here and no joy. Will have to wait until it completely rusts out then sift through the dust. Thank goodness for a windy day, kept the little blood suckers to a minimum.
I worked out the puzzle while Mr Bushies2 went out to try a cache at 'You need a 4X4 for Beecher drivin'...took me a while to sort out the coordinates then when we went to Tannum Sands, our GPSr pointed to the bush near the river so I checked with Avagomob, got the correct coordinates because it was hard to judge the colours on the puzzle...after found two caches at Tannum Sands...drove past a narrow track so turned back and parked and walked towards GZ, no sandflies or midgets as it was a beautiful sunny day...arrived GZ and we thought oh gee what a difficult task to hunt this one but once we started to search...Mr Bushies2 waved to me and said he found it!!! It only took him a couple of minutes before he found it another brilliant cache by Tui65! Thanks Tui65 and Avagomob.
Knocked over the puzzle months agoand fiinally got around to finding the cache...I thought!
No luck today, and I left before the sand flies ate completly through my ankles leaving me with just stumps to walk on!
Sooooo many places to hide???
Thanks,

Took me an eternity to solve the grid.
Went to GZ a look for the cache for at least an hour.
With a lot of frustration I have to declare a DNF ! rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!
I had no glove and with all that rust ...
Anyway... geocacher life continue,
Bonjour from French Canadian visiting Gladstone and leaving tomorrow.

It's been a while since anyone has found this Cache so I thought I would check on it Today..
The Grass has grown a lot but GZ is still quite accessible and the Cache is still right where I put it.

Got the puzzle sorted quick smart . Just gave it to Mrs Temingi, she does them all the time. Arrived at GZ in light rain. Soon realised that YES I could be" here for a while"
As the rain was getting heavier and I had arranged to meet the owner later in the day ,I gave up and headed off after some others. Tui wasn't forthcoming with any clues but a chance comment during our talks of all things caching , set me thinking about something I'd noticed earlier during my search efforts. The rain stopped and I decided to go back for another look. Tui decided to come too. My thought was right. ! Had the cache in hand 30 secs after arriving at GZ .,before Tui had walked far from his car.
Thanks for the great challenge and for the cache.

Found with CamHelen. The welcome Southeaster kept the sandflies at bay. A good hide well up to the usual Tui65 standard.

Easy puzzle to solve- I cheated, although some of the colours are pretty darn close together. At GZ, searched in quite a few places, reaching carefully as I hate spiders and snakes. Even wondered if it was a furphy, and had a scout around.
Looks like a return trip is required, equipped with more cache finding tools.

Solving the puzzle was the easy part. Arrived at GZ late in the afternoon, armed with aeroguard. The previous log entry regarding the sand flies was not exaggerating! They didn't seem to notice the aeroguard and attacked relentlessly. When we ran out of insect repellent we decided to retreat. We'll be back armed with a different, hopefully more effective sand fly repellent.
Quite amazing really. Found twice before it was even published. Maybe using some kind of futuristic handheld GPS.
Yeah I know, Sorry about that, But this was listed on Geocaching Australia a few days ago, I was having trouble putting the puzzle on this page and in frustration I tried it on Geocaching Australia... Shock horror it loaded straight away.
found at 2335 with Captain Terror. Took us about half hour to find. Eleventy billion sandflies and mozzie bites and thats with insect repellant.
Solved the puzzle and set out late at night for this one. After a while searching around finally came up trumps. First FTF. TFTC
