The owner of this cache has moved interstate and the area in which the cache is placed no longer seems to be safe from vandals.

Probably destroyed. Plenty of evidence of rough sleeping and rubbish at GZ. No longer a nice spot for a hide.

log entries suggest cache may damaged or missing however cache owner is overseas for a few months so is unable to maintain the cache or check it out, will do so when returned to the coast

Found. All good. Thanks Abi W x

Easy find overlooking the surf.

Found with kcsfinch. Easy stroll along the path, found gz easily.

Walked straight up and found this one. Don't know what people are having trouble with. A quick grab after the previous cache. TFTC heylucy!

2nd go brought the farmer8 boys still no dice

We had dropped off son #2 at the airport and decided we pick up a cache or 2 en route back to our holiday accommodation in Noosaville.
This was the first stop, and after needless bush bashing, StreetWalker found the cache, not quite where the hint indicated. Nice sea breezes on a warm afternoon.
TFTC.

#4473. It has not long after midday and the day was hot; was pleased we were mostly in the shade en-route to this cache. Saw #2's plane shortly after it took off, while we were at GZ. Took a while to track down, but we got there in the end. TFTC.

Second try and another ex-DNF to cross off the list.
A popular spot, judging by the amout of towels and bedding etc left in the dunes!
Left keyring and TB Superman. TNSL TFTC

found it ok

Up here to catch up with bunny & her boys & get some family photos done. Passed what looks like a homeless camp on the way in, smells like they might have been there for a while. This one wasn't quite where I expected, but got there in the end. Great view . TFTC

Great hide. We enjoyed the walk to GZ. Lovely beach vista. TFTC.

HI found it eventually short walk in the vines tangle weed and scrub. Picked up fairy dust left the moon. TFTC

The beach was beautiful found the cache quickly left eye ball TFTC

Retuned to get this cache. Thank you Team Bender for getting this back up. TNSL Left Baby Smurf.

Found at 1.40. Lovely walk upon the boards from the new and mostly vacant estate. Tftc

TFTC

Parked near fancy as toilets Cool day, eagle, nice walk, lots of scratches. Struggled to find at first, was looking at trees not bark. Geo hubby found it. TFTC.

Tftc

We tried this one once before without success but today it was a quick find with Ainstar and scottymyth.

TFTC

Beautiful day for geocaching. TFTC

Found with Ainstar and membsec on a nice sunny day. TFTC

We had a wonderful day of caching in this vibrant and scenic part of Queensland. We loved the Sunshine Coast when we were here back in 2007 and it is still as lovely especially on a bright sunny day like today. We enjoyed finding this well hidden cache.
Thanks to heylucy.

I have put a temporary cache in place with the permission of the owner who is away at present. It is a regular screw top. I have not been in this area before. There were muggles enjoying the walk on the beach but did not see me. TNLNSL TFTC Thanks heylucy

After 2 experienced cachers can't find anything, maybe the CO could do a cache check, please.

Unfortunately, we weren't successful here. After reading the hint and previous logs, I was pretty sure I was in correct spot. After a prolonged and thorough search, and all I'd found was some pieces of broken plastic that looked as though it may once have been a container, I reckon it may have been muggled.
Maybe another day.

Pretty sure we were in right location and scoured the area for some time with no luck discovering even a remote sign we might find the cache.

What a beautiful part of the world. The weather was perfect today and many muggles were heading to the beach. We found the track and raced up while no one was looking. Found easily and its hidden out of view. Container is a little hard to cover well, being so large, but tried to camouflage best we could. Thanks for the hunt

A really beautiful spot; we never knew of this area. Navigated by JZ (kid #3) and found by JZ and EM (kids #3 and #2). TNLN, and thanks heaps for showing us this part of the world. Just when we were winding up, a muggle appeared! I think we were subtle; he looked as surprised as we did!

Found it

I parked in the nearby carpark and made my way to GZ. Mr Garmin took me right to area
and I began my search, the co-ords were a little out, but a easy find in the end.

The cache was in good condition and nice and dry.

TFTC SLTN

Thanks heylucy

Nice walk great view tfth

Found after a bit of a hunt looking slightly out of place. Returned with better cover and location.

Left some extra goodies for the next lot of geo kids to find. Good spot!

After 86 finds I had to come back and have another look.
Well this time I came up with the cahe and took a coin.
Wasn't that hard after all.
TFTC.

Hate to admit it but I'm the first to have a DNF on this one.

name change

A fantastic beach - I was here around 6pm. The wind was so refreshing, and the cache made things so much sweeter. Such a secluded spot!

Thanks to heylucy and clear skies from TeamAstro.

NICE AND EARLY CACHE ON WAY TO WORK LOL
tftc

The walk to GZ was great in the torrential rain. Frogs in the bush conservation area were going "off". The beach was almost deserted and GZ certainly was as the heavy clouds dumped.

Megan found this one and left "Scratchy" (the Simpsons). TFTC

Windy afternoon but still warm and so a few folks around the beach. Had a few goes trying to work it out then finally. STOP. Ignore the clue. Watch the compass and distance. STOP look around and there it is. Funny how some times you have to work out when to trust the GPRS and when not to. Had a hunch it knew better this time and spot on. TFTC

Found this neat cache on our road trip North to Noosa.
Many thanks for the cache and breaking our journey.
TNLNSL..........Cheers

Geoson did not like the sand in his shoe however all was forgotten when he found the cache! Tftc!!!

Thanks to the previous log re the plastic bottle, this helped heaps as the cache hint is not applicable. T frog L Necklace TFTC

Beautiful view of the ocean from where the cache is hidden, easy find

Nice wee walk. The log re snakes spooked the wee one a little
TFTC from NZ.

tftc

Found it right on dusk with the moon shining on the water .TFTC

A nice walk until we saw a snake riggle across our path....TFTC Look for the plastic bottle.

Great spot but it's a pity that people have wrecked the area. Found it with Konie and thehairbear!

TFTC

Found it with holster and Konie.

TFTC

Found really quickly with holster and thehairbear as it was out on the open. As per previous logs the original tree has been broken down and the area looks very well used. The log book has a few entries by muggles so it was nice that they left it there and didn't take it.

We replaced it under a bush near a broken tree on the southern side of GZ. We put a plastic bottle on top of the broken tree so it may or not be there later on.

The cache may need to be moved to a safer spot.

TFTC

Logged in a few of my travellers for a visit.

What a perfect world. A beautiful blue sky, a empty beach and no sharks around.

Skylon96 from Germany

Wonderful view from the end of the boardwalk a likely looking gutter in front, not fishing today so off to find a cache. The clue put us straight on it. Thanks fro bringing us here.

Well, Judah by the sea.....it was found in great order and in a pretty sneaky looking little retreat area. TFTC

Another great day on the Sunshine Coast so a little caching was the order of the day and this was the first one on the list.
Took a little while to locate, log was signed and off to the next.Thanks to heylucy for placing this cache.

Someone had left a tomato in the cache I suspect muggles suggest this cache is moved

Found this cach with the family lovely spot on a lovely day

Found this cache with the whole family thanks for the hide lovely spot

Good find, took a little while to find the dead tree but found it easily enough after that. good fun. Cheers

The item mentioned in the clue seems to have been misplaced, cache found within a few metres of co-ords and in good condition.

TFTF didn't have a pen so will try to bring geokids and add one to the cache

07/06/11 - Added pen, and removed TB

We have only just discovered geocaching, so this was our very first find!! After a few false starts, we finally read the instructions properly and found it fairly easily in the end. Great location...TFTC

#1 of 4 found today with RollaB. Quick easy find. TFTC.

Found by little jackam. TFTC

Thanks FTC. Found at lunch time. Funny been here a few times with kids but never with gps before to look for caches.nice spot.

Saw my first ozzie snake here

TFTC

it was pretty hard to get to but when we got there the view was amazing

Nice easy find unable to sign log as we didn't have a pen. Took tb to move on.

Tftc

The dead tree is now lying on it's side there was a lot of litter around and the cache was fairly exposed
I picked up most of the crap and recovered the cache. Took the geo coin

Nice spot- Took Roo and Koala TB's and left "Hey, look its a Travel Bug" and Geocoin

Morning walk along the beach and through the forrest and a detour to locate cache. A nice spot
TFTC TNLN

This was a lovely spot on a hot day. Left TB. TFTC

First find of the day, and this was a beautiful spot to start. I would have loved to stay longer and actually go for a swim. The tide was in, and the water was so tempting. However, there were more caches to find. TFTC.
Found with Nearra.

Found with Guccigal. Another beautiful spot. The second time today we have taken note of the location so we can come back again later on. TFTC

In the area for a weekend of Caching.

Thanks

Note to next finder: There was/is no pen in cache.

i was looking in the wrong spot turned around and found it

2nd find of the morning
Had to wait for joggers to go by to search for this one
tftc

Great views of the sea

Found on a wet old day on the sunshine coast. It would be a great spot if the sky's were blue.
Easily found and replaced with a bit more cover. TFTC

This was my first cache for a rainy day. I should have gotten this one earlier when I was doing this one's neighbouring cache. Nevermind. I made my way to GZ and.. after a bit of a hunt.. found the well hidden beast. It is in good condition. A very nice area - and a distinct lack of muggles first thing in the morning. TFTC heylucy

Superb lookout which without caching would have gone unnoticed.
On a visit from NZ, we left drought and found rain.

It rained and rained and rained
The average fall was well maintained
And when the tracks were simply bogs
It stared raining cats and dogs.

After a drought of half an hour
We had a most refreshing shower
And then most curious thing of all
A gentle rain began to fall.

Next day but one was fairly dry
Save for a deluge from the sky
Which wetted the party to the skin
And then at last the rain set in.

TFTC

We have been staying in Mount Coolum for about a week now and so this one was a must!
Unfortunately the only GC nearby, but great to have at least this one.
The walk on the beach was great.

TFTC!

Qilin518 from Germany

this was our very first geocache it was so great! we are now hooked, cant wait for the next trip! it was pouring with rain when we were finding it and we were running around in circles but we eventually found it. The container was very well hidden

There was quite a refreshing sea breeze blowing this morning as we searched for this one. It was just before breakfast and no one was about. It was overcast and the GPS put us a few metres away but we found the cache with the help of the clue. Thanks heylucy.

Found whilst on my Qld trip for my Girlfriends 30th Birthday, we were at a nearby resort apartment so while they out shopping and we were having a break from Scrapbooking, I snuck away and grabbed myself a few caches.
Great views from this spot, haven't been on the coast for a few years so enjoyed the beautiful weather and lovely secluded spot.
Cache was found easily enough.
Took glass pebbles, left rubbers.
Thank you for bringing me here!

My first find of day after not finding a couple of others. Lovely location for cache.

TFTC easy find, lovely beaches, beautful spot. TNLN thanks

We found this one out in the open and fully exposed, but everything looked to be ok inside. Made sure to cover it well after we signed the log (after muggle signing). Thanks heylucy

Came here on a journey through time and space. Looks like someone has been here on a similar mind journey, some tools found nearby. Cache is in good condition, was a little exposed. Took car, left shark. Love the Mighty Boosh sticker. TFTC

Easy find. Great spot. Thanks

Found Ok

A quick find and nice views. tftc!

An nice spot for a cache and an interesting story to read while we enjoy the scenery. Weather was a little grey today, so our visit was short. TFTC. TNLN.

The item referred to in the hint is now a ybt! Cache still found easily safe and sound, thanks heylucy.

Lovely view!
Could you ever get tired of the ocean?
The cache was in plane sight, so I covered it more.
Thanks!

[We agree. What a lovely job the council has done around here. We didn't find the hint too helpful as I wouldn't have called it a] tree where GZ is - it's more a shrub and it's not all dead either. [ However, it had been well hidden although a dog or some other animal had removed some of the camo. We re-hid it with something heavier on top so as to discourage a bird from shifting the camo. Thanks for the cache heylucy. It's nice and large and will take those larger trackables. Nice and clean and dry also.
Took: calm book
Left: lanyard]

Enjoyed reading Judah's diary - that's one clever snail The area of the cache is nice with great views of the surf. Signed the log. Just a quick question - who (or what) is Asher? TFTC heyLucy

554 - Found this one after looking in a few places at 11:41am. A lovely view of the beach from this location. We also loved the walkways in this area, thumbs up to the Council for the work they have done here. TFTC heylucy.
