Hi theuknurse,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Pretty certain this has bitten the dust.
This area has been flattened to make way for a new roundabout.

New roundabout going through here.

We saw this cache needed to experience some love so we came to find it. We checked and looked and searched. We were taking all sorts of hints from logs and found some to be helpful and a couple not so. The original track now has some asphalt and we were beginning to wonder if in doing that the location was removed or changed. Bob started to look like he wanted to leave but I persevered, took note of a hint I remembered, and yay! There it was! Cache found, log ok, and so we signed and replaced as found. Cache is ready for some more geocachers to come seeking.
Cheers and happy caching!

Got me stumped
Will need to go through the past logs on something bigger than my phone screen as there appears to be some amendments that are required reading

I parked up near the corner in a little cleared area about 140mtrs from GZ. Headed off down the track and saw something on my way and went to just have a look and there was the cache! All good here, log signed and cache replaced as found. Thanks theuknurse for placing it here.

Couldn't find

Looked in and around all stumps and logs, within a 30m radius of the cords listed below with no luck. Have read every suggestion below and still no luck.

Looked way to hard for this one because I played to much attention to the hint. DONT OVER THINK for this one. TFTC

Lots of mozzies!

Took a while...but after reading a few logs...we were able to find it:-) thanks

We had parked in the day use area for a walk along some trails and decided it would be better to walk to this cache instead of moving the car. It sounded good in theory but walking along the main road seemed tighter than a G-String that’s been wedged into an uncomfortable spot.

Earlier during the walk Mrs Woodyrothwell decided she would take the backpack off me in case it made her work harder. It had some water in it but she was wearing her fitness tracker and thought it might add to whatever she was measuring. If it had cold beer in it she would have never been able to prise it off me.

I had come half-armed with the intel from some previous logs so I knew to throw the phone away when we got close. The first stump contained dirt and so did the second but also a cache.

We only had to run the gauntlet of the main road back to the cache so I untwisted my G-String from my testicles and we set sail for the car. tftc

Now that one was very well hidden I had to read a few logs to find out where it was.
Thanks for a really nice caches

We knew the deal from reading ahead the logs so weren't fossicking for long. Although I still managed to bypass the container at GZ because my eyes were focussed on the obvious spot. In great condition and a nice little find. TFTC

Looked in and around every burned and non-burned trunk. Read people's logs and tried the new coords but no luck. Some trunks seems to be hollow even underground and swallow anything you throw in there. Maybe the GC has been swallowed by mother nature?

Monday. We’d been here ages ago and had to mark a DNF on this cache, but today we were in the area and we managed to turn this round. Found the cache and signed our names in the log. Reading previous logs really helped! I was sure we looked in this spot first time round, but there you have it! That’s caching.

This was the 2nd of 3 caches found on today's trip.

Thanks ***theuknurse***, for showing us this place.

Having travelled up to the Sunshine Coast for the day for work, I had finished my meeting with plenty of time to spare for some geocaching to round out the afternoon. I initially missed the turnoff to where I wanted to park because of double lines in the centre of the road. I found a place to turn around in someone's drive way a little further on, and it was only after the cache was found that I realised that this was directly opposite where the cache was hidden and I could have accessed the cache from there. A short walk to GZ and I couldn't see anything resembling a hiding place where my GPS pointed. A lateral interpretation of the hint soon located a cache hiding place a little further away close to the track. TFTC

I searched around in all the stumps I could find with no luck. As I was walking back to the car I looked down at a stump beside the track and there it was in plain sight, nowhere near the posted coords or the coords provided in the note.

Thanks for the cache theuknurse. This was find #3892. Please discover my trackable: MMGJ6B.

Found the little road in and parked fairly close to the cache. But then it was a stumpy search and after a while we widened the search area considerably and came up with the goods. TFTC theuknurse.

Out with dickbev to try to grab a few smileys in the Noosa-Tewantin area. Fortunately after a few rather wet (to say the least) days today was a good day to be out and about caching. We almost didn't stop at this one as it was showing a long time since last find. After rummaging in every stump in a radius of 30 metres we managed a find and the log had not been touched since being replaced in October 2016. If you want a hint - move 10 metres away from GPS and be aware that not all trunks are burnt. TFTC theuknurse

Spending the day caching around Noosa with rbutto. Thought we would give this cache a try although it hadn't been found since being replaced. Wandered down the trail in the woods to GZ and checked out all the likely places before finding the cache in a stump that stood out from the rest. Nice to turn this unloved cache into a smilie. TFTC theuknurse

We were in the area today and tried for a find. Np luck today

**NEW CO ORDINATES S 026.24.012 E 153.00.793** depending on how the trees behave.
I have replaced the burnt cache and it's now an eclipse tin.
3 stumps still apply, but it's no longer the middle one.
SPRAY FOR MOZZIES!!!!!!!

This area has just been back burnt and the cache has gone.
I'm happy to replace it in a couple of weeks.

Too many places to look. GPS was all over the place.

No luck. Gracias

Might need gumboots

So many stumps, I was stumped. Lol. Tftc.

We have the caravan parked at Cooroy and it was good to get out and find this cache. Nice one. Thanks to theuknurse for placing this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the location.

Found it but coords are way off

The coords were out but not by much. Geomum found this one. Log book was a little damp but still able to write on. Thanks theuknurse

This is sadly a bit of a dumping ground with lots of garden waste, damaged bikes and old fridges. We got to GZ fairly easily but then tried to find what matched the hint. There were too many things that could have matched the hint so it was no help at all. In the end we found the cache about 9m from GZ. If it helps others we believe the co-ordinates to be: S 26 24.028; E 153 00.794. TNLNSL TFTC

This cache has been bugging me for a while, so today it was time to give it a shot.

Parked by the intersection and walked up the track to GZ. The hint didn't help but by reading the previous logs I knew what I was looking for. After about 10 minutes of searching the cache was discovered.

TFTC theuknurse

Been meaning to find this for months. Have put the log in a plastic bag, thanks uknurse.

easy to get to and find, the only difficulity is there is lots of stumps nearby.

Thanks. Took a bit of searching.

Great hint & another log signed today TFTC

Easy find with the middle one clue

Little search, but found it!
TFTC

I found the coordinates off by about 15 metres for me, which made this hide a bit difficult, especially with a micro cache at this location, but after searching the posibilities I had the cache in my hands

I have included the coordinates where I found the cache.

Thanks

cache find #3202. we parked the geotug at the nearby track, and made the short walk to GZ. The smell of the dead kangaroo was overwhelming, so we tried to find the cache quickly. But, we searched for some time, before Mr GT54 yelled out that he had found the cache. I am sure I looked there. TFTC.

A nice hide. TFTC

Either these caches are gone, hidden very well or I am over thinking my search efforts. The kids and I have been on the hunt for a cache a couple days now and have searched three times at our first and attempted this one also, all to no avail. Hopefully next time.

Out and about between showers tracking down the Tewantin caches, parked near the main 'T' intersection and walked back along the muddy track to the cache only to discover an easier access point directly opposite GZ.
Soon tracked down hiding hole, really had to look carefully as the container was hard to see.

This will be my 1429th cache found which leads me to telling what happened in that particular year.
Did you realise that on:

1. On Jan 10th - Order of Golden Fleece was established in Austria-Hungary & Spain

2. On February 20 – Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici, founder of the Medici dynasty of Florence Died

1. On September 8th – Joan of Arc lead an unsuccessful attack on Paris and was wounded.

Enough trivia,
Thanks for the well thought out hide

Traveling with Runciple, duck enjoyed the puddles. TFTC

Look in bush

Interesting cache enjoyed the challange well maintained cache after a bit of searching easy find

#449 @ 2:43PM
Out collecting some Tewantin smilies today with spinna76 & *SuzySquirrel*. We came here once before but were unable to find it, possbily due to lack of experience but I'm happy to say that today we were able to earn the smilie.
TFTC theuknurse

#726 @ 2:44 pm. Quick find with spinna76 and Stacevel today on our day out in Noosa. TFTC theuknurse

#724 @ 2:45 PM Out caching with Stacevel and *SuzySquirrel* today. Found this time without a problem. Last attempt was at #120. 604 more caches and found it easier. TNLNSL ~ TFTC theuknurse

On my way to North Shore with beckster22, this was one of the caches on the way.

After a little scratching around geo hubby found it. TFTC.

I pulled into a little turn out not far from the cache and wandered across to take a look around. Arriving at GZ and the number of options for where the cache could be seemed to be well quite large.

After taking a look at a couple of possible options, I read a little more info in the description and the hint, but still this did not really help much at all. I got checking everywhere I could see within a decent radius and tried to make it quick as I am not to sure if the water that was coming down was from the trees or more rain coming in.

Soon enough though the find was made, I got my name added to the log and moving onwards.

TFTC

Quick one tftc

TFTC nice day to geocache

TFTC beautiful caching day

A bit mucky on a rainy day... But found it Should have brought gloves to move the spider web.

Gosh, where do I start, there are tree stumps everywhere. Eventually Flagmarshall39 and I went in opposite directions. Hmm, do I really want to put my hand down these snakey, spidery holes? But then I spotted it and soon had log signed. Good one. Tftc

Hahaha, how many groups of three stumps there are in this small area! The GPS was not very happy so in the end we checked them all and naturally it was in the last one lol. TFTC

Scruble bull

Good a little off hard to fine

that was hard to find

B b Veroca gives you back Ur b b bounce

I must admit to a bit of luck here today, but maybe it was a bit of experience too! I used Zoolandr's excellent parking suggestions for which I was very grateful because the light was fading. I followed my GPSr to the general area but there seemed to be a few possibilities here. My first choice was right and it only took a moment to find the little blighter! Thanks theuknurse for your hides around here.

Don’t you just 'love and hate’ one of those geocaches that on a previous visit you spent 15mins looking for it but came up empty hand then the next time you visit you are there for 1 second and have the cache in hand...

Well, this is what happened to me today.

Thanks for this annoying cache ‘theuknurse’. All is in order with your cache.

Damn that was tricky, but lots of fun. TFTC

Super hard but found it

Off the track

Off the track

Booyah Found it!

It drives me CRAZY when you can see a huge area of smileys and that ONE DNF that you just didn't think was there... but other people can find it! DOH!

So driving along Beckman's road randomly ("not geocaching" or as i like to say "I'm always not not geocaching") and I make my husband pull over (between the signs i mentioned in my previous DNF log)... within minutes I realised why I brought him because he came up with the goods almost instantly. Geo husband didn't use the GPS (which would have been all over the place anyway).. instead he just went off the clues i could give him.

TFTC theuknurse!

This one was probably the hardest of all the ones I did today. Took around 20 mins. Great hiding spot.

Parked off wentworth st but note to other geocachers:

******It is possible to park just off Beckmans rd and close to GZ. Look out for the entrance just AFTER the "T" intersection sign and BEFORE the big green sign noting direction to cooroy and tewantin. ********

There were a couple of hiding opportunities here and I checked all of them thoroughly. Found what looked like an urn sitting in a stump but upon closer inspection turned out to be a hollow candle stick holder on top of a stump. Random.

you win this time theuknurse but I'll be back!

Nice one

Staying at the Pomona showgrounds, for a couple of days.
Today, we did a day run to the Noosa area, to grab some caches.
Cache was found quickly, and in good condition.
Many thanks for placing this cache, theuknurse, for us and others to find.

TFTC!

Unfortunate GC code on this one, but amusing for my infantile sense if humour! Straight forward find, TFTC

Was a nice quick search almost a drive by

Hi Found it nice hide co ords a bit off. TFTC

Quick find thanks and greetings from new zealand

No luck. I believe that this one is "long gone".

Well sadly, I have to put a DNF on this one. We looked and looked in and around every stump. We read the recent log about replacing the cache, but in the end all I came away with was mozzie bites. I must have been a sight because I was covered in charcoal, sweat, blood and mozzie guts. On the bright side, I had picked up some cans and glass from Gz and was carrying it back to the car thinking that I should have brought a bag with me, when I spotted a white bucket nearby. I grabbed it and shoved it in the boot. I managed to nearly fill it before we returned home. Thanks anyway, I hope to return one day!

TFTC. Found a path tag. You should rename it stumped.

Great cache. Had fun hunting it down with Mikky2204. Confusing, though. There are so many stumps! You should rename it stumped. Found a sweet and sour path tag

Up from Victoria on holidays in Noosa and I decided it was time to do a little caching. Back home there is a challenge cache (Double the Ides Challenge) which in order to log it you need to find 30 caches on the 30th of the month...the catch is that you can only find 3 on any particular day and those 3 must be hidden by the same person. I decided that my best option was to head over to Tewantin where there are quite a few caches hidden by "TheUKnurse".

Missing Trunk was my first stop...it took quite a while to find it as there were many stumps to choose from to line up as "three in a row" and my GPSr's were jumping around and not settling. Eventually I settled on one particular location and after much poking and prodding I caught a glimpse of the cache...the next problem was then extracting it. Eventually I managed that task was able to sign the log and get on to my next cache.

Thanks to TheUKnurse for this cache.

Found it with mountainman82....actually he found it. I would of probably came away with a DNF on this one. This is a very good hide and one I am glad to have my name on the log book.

Thanks for the cache uknurse

So many stumps to search. Reading previous logs helped. Awesome hide. Tftc

After searching around the base of what seemed like a million stumps and getting attacked by jumping ants and just as I was about to post a dnf the sun popped its head out and reflected light off of the cache, which was well hidden except for the top. Good to say I managed to retrieve it and sign the log.

there were LOTS of missing trunks! Found it though, clever hide.

Missed the entry, no correction missed the first entry but there is always more than one way to a cache

The plan today was to find 16 caches to get me to the next milestone of 500 finds.
This was the fifth #489, an easy find. Left a path tag.
All OK with the cache. The CO can do an Owner Maint on ot to remove the maint log.
TFTC theuknurse

#1537, replaced container it is in the root part of the stump in a black berocca tube, my gps was reading 3metres at placwment, tftc

Could the CO disable this one until they have checked on it please.

#120 @ 4:59pm Found what I believe was the spot but missing the cache. Looking back over the logs it seems this one is gone. 4 of us spent a fair bit of time searching for this one.

No luck with this one.
