Still here where the last founder found it.

I thought this should have at least one visit in 2013! After evicting the friendly ants I was able to sign the log and then tuck it all up safely for another year?! It's just a bag, no container, but a great hide all the same.

I have fond memories of Sizzler in its "hey days" of the mid 1980s and the size of this car park is testament to its huge popularity when it was built. If I added up all the time I spent waiting in the long queues it would amount to many hours - but it was worth it! At the time there was not much else to compare with the quality and quantity of food you could get for the money and like many other families it was the first choice for birthdays and other special occasions! We always came out groaning from eating so much so maybe it's a good thing we don't go there anymore?

Thanks speedgeo if you're still listening!
 
This one is MOST definitely there, although the log is a little worse for wear. I have had this one in the GPS for a while and over the weekend I was up at Alex Heads and opened up the GPS to see what was around. Lo and behold there was a cache 650m away. After a bit of hunting and not wanting to look too suspicious I took the plunge and hunted around the GZ area until I spotted what looked suspicious. Nearly got eaten by ants though.

I see this one has been Archived. Can verify to the owner.

Found it Twisted

Found what was left of cache! No lid and a mushy piece of log paper stuffed in the bottom. Sad

Disapointed in CO for not acting apon the last maintenance log nearly 7 weeks ago! Good spot for the right cache, pity about it's condition.

Nice easy find - like previous logs - no lid on cache and log too wet to scribe name - I have taken picture as evidence of find. TFTC

A disapointing find as others have stated. Just an open container with a mushy remnant of paper.

We were visiting the Sunshine Coast to find some frogs taking part in Geocaching Australia's Leapfrog Caching Game http://www.cachinggames.com/leapfrog/ and decided to look for new caches in the area while in the vicinity. The cache was one for the numbers, easily found and we were off again to hunt down some more frogs. TFTC

Got to GZ was pretty straightforward. Extracting the cache --- not so much. That little devil was really wedged down there. Finally resorted to the old twig chopsticks technique and it worked! Tried to leave it slightly more reachable but still hidden. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
 
05-Nov-11
Wandered down from the hotel. Not the most interesting of spots. Log wet.
Thanks (I think)
 
27-Oct-11
wet - needs maintenance
 
25-Oct-11
Mid afternoon and no one around, I waited in the car and sent hubby for this one. SL TFTC
 
19-Oct-11
I could almost see GZ from my hotel room window so, this was always going to be on the radar... Wink I nipped in for the grab on my way home from work and glad I did as this place gets very busy and would do so within an hour or so... Surprised

I made my way to GZ and spotted a likely area. As I swooped, the cache was staring me in the face... Well, that was handy... [^]

I stayed where I was for business and tucked the container away again. THis is the time that I was gld I didn;t come here later... We all know that appearing from nowhere is the most uncomfortable part this sport... Twisted

Cheers speedgeo.

A quick easy find but the reason for the name of the cache totally escapes me. Wrong time of day for a Sizzler though. Thanks for the cache.

Our 5204th overall find.

We were able to park within about 2m of GZ for this cache and Matt jumped out of the car and found the cache very quickly. We signed the log and were on our way. Maybe we will try sizzler next time we are in town.

Thanks to speedgeo for the cache.

This cache was part of our holiday to the gold coast and sunshine coast. Although we did not go as a caching holiday only we still managed to find over 100 caches in our ten days. The density of the caches some of the areas made a quick 10 or so fairly easy. The only cache I really wanted to get was Queens Land, one of the oldest caches in Australia. The family really enjoyed the weather, theme parks, shopping and of course the caches. Thank you to all the people that have placed the caches in these areas.

A quick Find in the morning

Finally found the little bugger. Hint is slightly misleading. D.K.C.E.S.G.
