As the CO isn't active anymore, and the site is destroyed, see Landylovers log below 27 Feb 2016 there is no other option. Maybe someone will place a new cache nearby.
Sorry to see another oldie go.

Good fun, searched for awhile then started moving debris around and there it was - well hidden. TFTH. SL. cache in good condition.
On our way home from camping nearby & had driven by this one a number of times but not stopped so today was the day. A quick find by geodaughter, she's definitely got her caching mojo on. TFTC

After spending the last few weeks settling in to my new abode and being domestic and stuff like that. Decided that I had to get back to doing what I like best Geo Caching. So I set out on a mini road trip to explore my new surrounds and hopefully pick a few caches along the way. Thanks for bringing me here
Thanks for the great cache and adventure reporay

It was sitting out so we poped it back in. This took us ages last time so very happy to find
After a big day of completing some ridiculous caches in the area, I thought I would cool things off with a few easy ones.
I had previously found this one with jonesgang before they recruited me officially!! I returned today to sign the log as myself

Found after a deal of searching with a couple of muggle friends and then spent some time looking for their glasses which got lost during the search. If another cacher find them please let me know. TFTC
Took a bit to find with 5 geokids but then thought like a real cacher and found it straight away.
Reasonably quick find with hulioxxx, possum crazy and samdoggy. Signed log and replaced as found. TFTC
Found Easter Sunday whilst out caching with possumcrazy, hulioxxx & Driftwoodred. All well here. No snakes today. TFTC.
Found with stairman1. There was a bulldozer clearing the area which disturbed the peace. Log all good. Sorry about the late logs TFTC
Found with Goldielover today on a nice drive away for the weekend.
Great cache. TFTC

Student free day - geocaching day I say.
This was the first of three in the area, I have driven past this cache far to many times, so it was nice to finally stop and have a look.
Tom was on top form and it didnt take him long to find this one.
All is well with this one.

We were just coming home from camping and decided to do some caches, it was nice easy find.TFTC
30/9/14 On our way home from a great week of camping at Imbil and decided to stop and do a few caches on the drive home. This was our first cache for the day. Arrived at GZ easily enough, although with a camper-van being towed behind, finding somewhere safe to park was a little tricky. We pulled up along the side of the road, made sure all was safe and across we went. The find was quick, we signed the log and off to continue our journey home and find some more caches. TFTC
Driving past this one with trek4ward and C Yeo Later, so we dropped in to find the cache. Had us searching around for a while, but I eventually had my hands on the goods! TFTC
Quick check in the depressing weather today, but I couldn't come up with the goods
Gees...anther DNF. Not going too well on Imbil today Hope I have better luck in Kenilworth.
As the CO has not logged on for quite awhile, and I was passing and remembered that there was a DNF on it recently, thought I'd check. All is good, container was where it was supposed to be, and the log is good.
Happy Caching.
Happy Caching.
Out for a nice bit of caching over Easter. Grabbed this one enroute to the forests for a bit of 4WDing. Quick find. Thanks for the cache!!
I spent 15 minutes in the heat searching around where the GPS was pointing. Either the cache is not there or the coordinates are way out.
On our way back to camping at the Hobson's Trail Event this was our last cache. Thanks for placing it here reporay. Nice to have so much off-road parking to access the cache. TNLNSL
In Imbil for the weekend event, and this was the next stop as we headed off for the day. Sweet-Bee and I combed the posted GZ and at least one of the alternative co-ords before Fangsoki and Captain Terror got bored and guided our efforts a little more precisely.
Thanks for placing this cache, reporay. Found in good condition.

Was at Imbil for Xixau & Shenzi 10 year anniversary. Found HIGH TENSION in the dark on my way home.
Found a 1023 with Marg and RVgeos. While we were searching for the cache we were joined by RVgeos. Nice to meet up with some other cachers. They were on their way to the nearby event just like us. TFTC.
Mrs Just a Trifle has just worked out how to update her GSAK database from the GPS to indicate those caches found. Well you know what that means don't you? Yep, we have found a few caches which we have not yet logged so now we are trying to catch up with the on-line logging. This was a quick find on our way to Xixau and Shenji's 10 Year - Hobsons Trail event. Thank you for having placed the cache reporay.
After over-nighting at Kennilworth a mornings caching was in order. Spent a while digging around for this one and must have checked the same spot several times before finally spotting the goods.
Thanks reporay

I was going back home past this one so I thought I'd give it another try. Went away unhappy last time so this time I was more philisophical and gave myself five minutes. At 4 minutes 59 seconds I happened to glance sideways and spotted something. TFTC couldn't leave anything - too small!
Daughter and partner hooked. We are all wet but cache is well hidden and dry. Avoid the dangers here.
The tension in the air was palpable as I rolled into GZ [:o]
I had parked in the middle of the triangle and soon discovered the awful truth [:o]
I would have to make a lemming like dash across one of the roads to reach GZ
Taking me life into me hands I ran, hoping that no gravel trucks appeared at that moment !!
Once in the relative safety of the forest, I soon found the cache safe and sound [^]
Another mad dash across the road and I was back at the geomobile.
Then the skool bus arrived and stopped because the driver thought I was dropping some skool chids off
I waved sheepishly back at the driver as he took off again.
Thanks for a stressful cache [^]

Thankfully the road was quiet and after a short search the cache appeared. Thanks reporay
Yesterday I was here with Gaz'n'Kab but we managed to DNF this one. Despite previous logs, very believable to not find thanks to a damn lot of places to hide a micro. I'm not really a fan of a micro in the bush, especially when it is a difficulty 1.5 with no hint. We gave up but at the event that evening I got a few hints and was keen to give it another go.
Today traveling past with Nyssaflutterby and membsec we stopped for this hunt. I quite liked the artwork on the nearby bus stop before we headed in for the cache. Hints were shared and we began looking. Four sets of eyes scouring the place still took several minutes before the beast was located. Thank NavStar for that! TFTC reporay

We drove up quite close and started to search. It wasn't long before Mr. Herbz moved something and there was the prize. TFTC
I came in to look for this one on the way in to the area but was not able to find it - even then place had been scratched over already by then. I can't say I am a fan of the micro in a bush setting - but I am less of a fan when there is no hint.
But anyway - I had heard this was found the day before by Bedmaker and Tassiegirl13 so I came back for another look. I fossicked for another 15 minutes before I came up with it. Interesting how others can't believe that other cachers couldn't find it? Gee - do you think it might be something to do with the 1 million hiding places near GZ???
I have posted up the co-ordinates that worked for me today. The other day the posted co-ordinates put me at a lantana bush - and did again today. Hopefully, they will help someone.
Glad to have crossed this one off. The cache is in good condition. TFTC reporay

This cache was part of our post- Forest Challenge caching today. Nyssaflutterby, Captain Terror and ourselves completed an epic day of caching with some great views, brilliant 4WD driving and great company - a most enjoyable day. Had made a quick check here yesterday without luck but prompted with information' last night' that others had found it we returned today. Took a little while but eventually NyssaFlutterby located the clever hide and another smilie was celebrated.

After a DNF yesterday, membsec and myself were keen to give this one a go again! So with Captain Terror in our company and knowing the cache was definately still there we spread out and got down to business! After about 5 mins I finally found the cache tucked away safe and sound.

Found with TassieGirl13 on our way to the Forest Challenge Event near Imbil today.
We wanted a couple of finds to warm us up for the afternoon festivities and this was our first.
Took us a little while to finally track it down but persistence paid off and we finally found the right hiding spot.

Didn't find this one, to many hidy holes, ran out of daylight. Oh well maybe next time.
I was passing on the way home from Maleny on sunday, thought I would check on this one.
I have the pleasure to report that all is well and dry.

At the ARC with T-Tech.
Got to GZ easily but so many hidey-holes We searched for maybe 20 minutes with no joy. Widened the area but still nothing. I started to be a lot more thorough than before, and eventually came up with the cache. So well hidden. Lots of cars going by today because of the Rally. TFTC, reporay.

Followed the GPS and there it was - a good reintro to geocaching after a couple of years' rest (well, aversion really) for geodaughter. TFTC reporay.
No luck with this one. GPS was all over the place. Searched for ages, but in the end had to give up. Thanks
Went back for another look today (14 April) but still no luck.
I went back for the 3rd time and guess what I finally found it! I'm sure I looked here before, but it must have been well hidden. Thanks

An easy one, read the logs first this time, saved a lot of heart ache. Trust your GPS. They don't work too well under trees.
I would call the cache size "Small" not a "micro"

Not at all sure why people have trouble with this one, trust your GPS and use your geo eyes and it should pop out at you SL TFTC
XC heading north between clients... Decided to stop here anyway even though previous logs indicated it may be difficult...
Walked straight up to likely spot and quickly had it in hand.. Nice placement.

Easy find by Mr Bushies2...we couldn't believe how the previous cachers didn't find it!! It was quite easy. Thanks reporay.
Out and about on a cache raid of the Sunshine Coast. After reading the last 2 DNFs we were pleased to spot something that didn't belong and that we were able to log as 2nd to find. Good hide T4TC.
Saw the previous did not find and thought we would give it a go. The cache searching device gave us a spot with no luck after much searching. Like previous log lots of places to look. Will have to try again maybe with different GPS device.
