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I see this one has been Archived.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.

Container still there as last finder found it. Put in some log paper and put all in a cliplock bag. Was a great hide. TNLNSL TFTC Thanks speedgeo
Found it
Found what was left of cache! No lid and a mushy piece of log paper stuffed in the bottom.
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.

Cache needs urgent attention. No lid on container, log sheet just mush! A new container is required.
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.
Found by Sunshine Toledo at 11:10am. The cache was found quickly and it's a good hide. The log is slightly damp. TFTC
Found this neat cache on our road trip North to Noosa.
Many thanks for the cache and breaking our journey.
TNLNSL..........Cheers

It's great to do this at night the percentage of muggles is 1 to 100. Easy find. Cache and log saturated. Log replaced. Old log book thrown out. Not readable. TFTC.
Found this cache but sadly couldnt sign the log as it is saturated,badly needs a new log..

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
Thanks to geowife. Log damp but usable. Didn't partake of the local cuisine. Tftc
A quick find after visiting the local second-hand shops with Geowife. We did not try the local cuisine. As noted by others, the log is damp.

Found it with the help of superfivez07. No Muggles around as we went late in the evening. SL. TFTC. Much Love Ruby.
Found while on holidays here with TassieGirl13.
Quick easy find for us but we already had dinner so we'll have to come back another time to eat here.

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
Wandered down from the hotel. Not the most interesting of spots. Log wet.
Thanks (I think)

Mid afternoon and no one around, I waited in the car and sent hubby for this one. SL TFTC
I could almost see GZ from my hotel room window so, this was always going to be on the radar... 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...
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...
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.
Nice easy find. Just had to wait for the muggle to back his car out from in front of the tree. TFTC. Cheers, CSCat.
Very tiny cache! Almost busted by Sizzler employee. Found the cache, just a little damp. SL TFTC
Found at 6.13pm after a bite to eat on the way back to the Gold Coast. Easy find after a big day on the Sunshine Coast.

TFTC. Second time here since the groundskeeper prevented us from a proper look the first time.
TFTC! Found with ShanStar, despite muggles hovering in the carpark! It can be busy if you arrive around a meal time
Haha, it was obvious where to find this when some suspicious looking characters with a gps were standing close by filling in log!!
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.

#5 and last cache found today. Quick easy find. Found with RollaB and TesJjs. TFTC.
I'll agree with the clue that it is slightly misleading! But found it with the help of GeoLea! TFTC
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

Began looking for the wrong container type/hide, then paused, thinking it shouldn't be this hard. Then looked with different thoughts and found.
Log is full, and an extra piece of paper is currently serving duty. SL. TFTC.

took a nice small blue rock and left a bandaid as geokid cut herself. the bandaid may come in handy for the next cacher
Found with Stigron, a fellow Geocacher. A small little cache that needs a new log strip.
Took a little bit of searching to locate this one.
Provided an enjoyable hunt after breakfast.

Approached this one with some hesitation. Slipped into the area and started the hunt. Thankfully it came to hand very quickly. It is in good condition. Slipped out again and moved along. TFTC speedgeo
Stopped by for a quick find. Considered stopping for a meal but I had other caches to find! TFTC speedgeo.
954. Nice easy find, thought the park would be busy but nobody about at 11:30 am.

Out and about caching - what else are holidays for.
At GZ, the telltale signs off a cache revealed its little hidey-hole and we were off.

Quick find after a visit to the library nearby. Log is still a little damp, even though I see the cache was "un-archived" only yesterday! TFTC.
