Picture This Mooloolaba, Queensland, Australia

As there has been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it has been a number of months since the last owner note I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 28 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

But yet the trigger happy reviewer continues to be wielded by power to his head..

I see a 'disable listing' on 12 July. Then a 'reviewer note' on 16 July.

Yet, in the reviewer note I read 'I noticed that this cache has been temporarily disabled for a period of time in excess of the period of "up to 4 weeks" as set out in the cache guidelines published on Geocaching.com.'

Perhaps my maths is not as good as it once was. 4 days = 4 weeks?

Really sad. Found this very badly muggled. Out in the open. All contents scattered. Put it back together. Suggest owner come check it out. TFTC SL left a TB.

Found badly muggled with contents scattered

Found with contents scattered over the hill. Don't know where it is supposed to be placed but put it in weeds at top of hill

MUGGLED!

Good thing I was going up the coast today anyway. Will go assess the situation. Thanks to Skeptimite and Magnetgirl_au for letting me know.

Found after diving the HMAS Brisbane. Found the container in tact not covered by any camoflague or anything. SL and dropped personal wooden coin. TFTC - we enjoyed walking the boardwalk and watching the views.

#249. Found with WARKS and the SA IOI team in the last minutes before I left to return to Brisbane. Easily spotted out in the open by WARKS (it is a miracle this cache survives: it would disappear in a second in South Africa). Traded swag. TFTC.

Amazed such a large container survives in such a popular, scenic spot. TFTC.

Found on a night hunt! Will have to come back and have a look at the scenery during the day. TNLNSL TFTC

Found this one after having to make a second visit as we were looking in the wrong area the first time around. TFTC

Nice cache. When I got there cache was out in the open for all to see
When I left it was camoflaged

Interesting find.

Went the wrong way first and then realised our error. Mr DisSister headed down to check out what he thought was the hiding spot but came back empty handed. My GPS couldn't decide which way to send us so I slipped down the other option to no avail. I decided to try back at option one where I spotted the cache before I even got near it. Mr DisSister had just about sat on it as he poked and prodded his original spot! Cache in good condition. TFTC, geckomaster62 (jasenjanine &nowNyssaflutterby ).

Found out early with geokids. Another photo taken. Thanks heaps.

Last night we searched In the wrong spot for ages, this morning the sun revealed everything. Thanks for the cache man it's down to 21 now on the cam..

Nice find this morning when out to take sunrise photos. Not many muggles around . Thanks for the cache

Nice cache took us ages necase we thought it was down on the sand.
TFTC Nyssaflutterby beautiful spot and nice cache .

Slipped in to find this one while out for a morning walk. Covered it a bit better before wandering out and about again.

Brought along a few of my travellers for a visit.

Went on a night hunt but could not find this one. Will be back in the light sometime. TFTC

Found whilst out walking the boardwalk with Novice1. TFTC

Quick find with Speeder3. TFTC

After a bit of a slip & a slide, the cache was retrived, signed & replaced. In good condition & well placed. TFTC.

First Mooloolaba cache. What a great find. Tftc.

Well, the cache was certainly a terrible mess!!!! So I have changed it to one of my favourite, reliable containers with some pretty artwork on the cache. Unfortunately because of the size I have had to place it in an awkward location. Will update the coordinates very soon, but for now the cache is not far from the posted ones, just head down the hill a bit more, please be careful. And PLEASE recover the cache well!!!!! Thanks Nyssa

I was making the most of the beautiful weather this Anzac Day by going caching with Nyssaflutterby, Egginthesky, Madman04 and mini munchkin when we headed to this cache so then Nyssa could do some maintenance. Little did she know just how much maintenance it needed. Thanks for the cache Nyssa

Needs maintenance temporarily disabling

nice easy find .....but totally soaked ...(some one has put in a maint..).

The log is complety soaked, could not sign! TFTC

As my found log

The new coordinates are spot on, but as long as I kept confusing the difficulty and terrain, there waz no way I was going to find it. Eventually I realised my mistake and as the GPSr coun3d down to 0, there was the cache

Unfortunately water has gotten into the cache, the log book is wet, but I managed to get me name into it.

I dried it the best I could, but it needs a good dry out and a replacement log book.

A great cache location though.

Thanks

Coordinates changed from:
S 26° 40.681 E 153° 07.103

Coordinates changed to:
S 26° 40.673 E 153° 07.092

Distance from original: 77.1 feet or 23.5 meters.

Finally, all good to go! Sorry it took so long

Happy hunting!

Woohoo! The 100th finder on this one

I've certainly never been to this part of the world before, so had no idea this structure even existed. The cache owner had to perform so maintenance so I tagged along and found it tucked away before a new hiding spot was found. I had a good time taking photos, climbing trees and being all sorts of helpful as Nyssa relocated the cache. TFTC to all involved in this one, a good place for a cache for sure

A few days down time. Hopefully back up and running Friday.

2nd find in Mooloolaba today, still nicely covered and hidden

Picture This was transferred from jasenjanine to user Nyssaflutterby

Half of the reason for visiting this lovely area today was to find this cache. Luckily for me, I am about to adopt it I have never adpoted a cache before but just couldn't resist this one. I love the Sunshine Coast, I used to live here. But since moving away have not been back nearly enough

So today with all 3 muggle munchkins and brother packed into the monster truck we set off to find us a cache.... well I set off to find a cache, they just had to endure. After battling the exhausting school holiday traffic to just get close to the cache I realised I wasn't going to get a park anywhere close! So double park it had to be. I figured leaving my brother in the car he could move it if it was an issue and we weren't disturbing the flow of traffic. So post hast I raced from the monster truck and made a quick scramble to find the cache. And then I found it. Very visible, but only if you were headed that way, which I'm sure not to many muggles would be. So I signed my scribble and set about to cover the cache back up. There was plenty of leaf litter about the place to make a good hide. Not sure how long it will last, the hill seems to be a bit eroded Maybe time to look for another spot to place the cache? Will be back next week to have a better feel for the area and see what we can do.

TFTC jasenjanine and thank you so much for an opportunity to adopt this one!

Please read my Logg.

Thank you.

I was there with Grisu83

The cash was out side the hiding place and the box was open the things were every were, could you go and check it please!!!

TFTC

Greats Grisu83

TFTC. Echo previous cache finder- this one was just out in plain view. I tucked into closer to base but might need checking.... beautiful spot

Found it but cache is just sitting in the open, co- not sure where this one belongs so you might want to put it back where intended with camo, need to check on this one before it gets muggled. Tftc

A nice walk and an easy find. I like this construction.
Recovered the cache with camo on departure.
TFTH
Left TB

#972

I sat and pictured the cache, then with deep insight I was able to find it straight away. Went to sit and sign the cache. Took TB. Then I checked out the nearby monument. TFTC jasenjanine & geckomaster62

Beautiful view of beach. Left hamster Tb behind to run up the coast.

Quick find by GeoKid1 leaving MrsGeo behind. Great views. TFTC

nice place for a hide

Found on the 2012 Tour de Eclipse. Cache found in the last place we looked, which was as usual not the first place we looked. I left my swaps in the Pahero and I did not have anything of equal value in my pockets. Thanks for the cache guys, we love your work.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This cache was found using a Garmin Montana 650t and/or a Blackberry 9700. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK and/or Cacheberry.

Found on the great Eclipse Trip of 2012 with Freddo. Nice one!

A day of caching from Boyne Island to The Gap in Brisbane. A road trip with a chance to stretch the legs is a good thing.

Thanks to jasenjanine and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Here with Lady Sparkles and hubby on a coast visit. A great part of Qld. Helen climbed up from the bottom and scratched around for an easy find. Plenty of muggles so had to be cautious. TFTC

Found quickly in amongst all the passing traffic. Fortunately just low enough down to be partially obscured. Thanks.

Quick find after a trot along the beach before dinner. Just on sunset, although not much evidence of the sun at the time, being quite overcast, but anyway not much foot traffic so we were inconspicuous (I think...). Covered up well.[^]

Visiting the area . TFTC

Greetings from New Zealand. Interesting piece of art. Not sure what it means, but I'm almost never sure what any art means . TFTC.

Our last day on the Sunshine Coast before we head back down to freezing cold Canberra, so we decided to do a few quick caches. Parking for this one was the biggest issue - we had to do quick a few laps of the car park before we fluked a spot. As for the art work - you should see some of the sculptures we have in the ACT! Once close to GZ we got a fright with a lizard who decided to climb up the tree, but in the end he helped us as a diversion while we made a quick grab for the cache. TNLNSL TFTC

A beautifull day, so many muggles around. So many, that nobody had time to look what we were doing there. A quick grab from the male part of 2personlimo, and we had it! Just after he put it back, we got company from 2 lizzards. Geuss they guard the cache!
TFTC

Yep, found this alright. Bit weird creeping around the bushes with s many people about, lol. TFTC

Quick find and then chased away by two beautiful dragons who obviously have a nest close by.

12:41PM | #452

An easy find on an overcast day. First find with muggle Shannon. The cache and contents were in good condition.

TFTC,
jasenjanine.

This was much easier than we were expecting. Sent geohubby down the slope to retrieve. A couple walking past gave us a knowing smile, no one else even noticed us. TFTC Cheers, coral.sea.cat

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 jasenjanine.

Took our time as plenty of muggles around today. Great day to take in the views.

Tricky little site... Had to send Mrs Aussie Idol down the bank to retrive the cache ! Good job. TFTC #99

A bit of a wait for the muggles to move along, but a nice easy find once the coast was clear. TFTC.

Took a lovely family shot.

While on holiday I went for a walk and nabbed this one. #2 for the day. Waited this there was minimal foot traffic then took the plunge.

Tigey Wigey

Another beach walk from the Alex Park centre this morning with a group of colleagues and young folks, and an easy grab. All was fine within and without, and long may it survive. TFTC!

Thanks after a bit of looking we found it. TFTGC.

Lots of muggles about but once there was a break in the foot traffic DropDeadFred had the cache in hand. Lovely spot TFTC

although this is a premium members cache i found it while out with my lovely wife Shanstar>we share the premium features on the cacheme app for nokia N8. so we both can benefit from it. Great hide but we needed to dry out the bags and container as they were wet inside. fun spot too and we had to take photos thru the frame! TFTC!!

Glad to find a cache in one of my favourite spots.... interesting to note that all the caches who find this one were in the picture!!

Thanks Geckomaster and jasenjanine

Lovely spot, lots of muggles about. Tftf, left something fishy

Came from below and it wasn't quite as easy as I thought to climb up to GZ - as it had rained a bit today. Cache was found quickly. I'm glad I looked for this cache when I did, as the day after it started raining properly which halted all geocaching activity. . TFTC and greetings from Melbourne.

1151. 2 laps of mooloolaba to find a car park ( good thing I did this on a week day ) a quick retrieval sign and replace, then a quick run up to look through the frame and back to the geomobile.
jasonjanine - TFTC.

Big muggle day today but with the wind and occasional rain they are staying in their cars so a search was in order. Quickly in hand, signed and returned. Inspected the artwork???
TFTC

TFTC.

This was a quick find, however due to the muddy terrain caused by the rain this cache made me have to change my pants as it wouldn't look right to anyone walking behind me haha.

TFTC

Cops across road. Some stealth required so geo hubby was the one to do this one. Awesome view.

After a visit to the Sunshine Coast office for work I need a cache a for the day, luckliy Geo mum had provided a couple of options for the trip back to Brisbane. After arriving and getting the Costanza parking spot nearby I headed over to GZ after a quick cal lto Geo mum to make sure I was in the right spot.

Qucikly ducked in signed the log replaced the cache. All good with cache and log

TFTC

Very busy today. Great weather brings too many muggles out. Great deal of stealth and not much time to take in the beauty.

Waited for the right moment, then in & out like a flash! TFTC

Picture this, a grown man on holiday crouched hiding in the bushes beside the beach at 630am in the morning. It's OK I'm a Geocacher! Even funnier, I wasn't the first to be there this morning. LOL.

An interesting feature and a fun cache. I managed to time my entry and exit to avoid the passing muggles then proceeded on my morning walk. TFTC

Many muggles about today being Mothers Day but found easily after a little subterfuge.
TFTC jasenjanine

Found on Mother's Day! Seirra1 did a quick move to GZ and stayed hidden to write the log and replace the cache while I kept and eye out for muggles. Lovely day here at the beach! This is a great location. Thanks jasenjanine!

Now how do I get it without looking suspicious? Gotit...now to get out un-noticed.

TFTC

Found it! Lots of tourists mulling around.

Lovely day TFTC

Found at 5.35pm. Had to wait for some muggles to finish their ice reams then had our story all set. I was getting cranky with the kids for tossing their good hat around & it got lost in the bushes ( wink, wink). Found quite easily but what a pleasant surrounding to be geocaching. Loved it. TFTC

Got it !! Can't believe I got a car park at 10.30am during school holidays !!!! Oh the tourists eewwww but i did get to the cache without any muggles seeing me. There was only one swap in the cache and it was a beautiful quote....You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough....I took the quote and left a poker chip...maybe the cache owner could put in a few swaps....also the cache was not clipped closed properly so a little water had gotten in....be sure to hear both clips click locked. TFTC luv rubykitten13

Easy find thanks to great hints at a beautiful location.Stayed for a few hours and a a swim at beach then coffee on the esplanade before journey back home.

Navigated by JR (kid #1) and found by EM (kid #2). That sure is a wierd... err, "thing". I had always thought someone started to build something, and was aborted :->. Took gold (pirate!) coin for SP (kid #4); left eraser.

Dropped by this one to check after NM log... We have replaced log & container... Cache is now a 200ml sistema... Please make sure to cover & put back where you found it... Thanks

Log book very wet. Plastic bag ripped (unreal) . I did not have geokit with me today otherwise I would have replaced them you you.

Found it

I knew the area quiet well, popular lunch spot for us sales reps........lol [:o)]

I made my way to GZ, the area was busy with walkers so timing was
everything

I waited for my chance to duck under cover, and off I went into the GZ area. The cache was sitting on top of the ground uncovered so it wasn't hard
to find. [^]

Took cache to a near by seat and opened it.....O no water
The log was very wet, but I still managed to sign it. And someone had managed to rip open the zip lock bag to make things worse

I replaced cache and laid a little more ground cover over it. I think the rain running down the bank has a lot to do with it being uncovered.

TFTC SLTN
Thanks jasenjanine

Nice easy find while visiting family in Mooloolaba
Took Geo Coin-Kris's Gift for a visit
tftc

First of four today. Required a bit of scouting about - after the recent rain, it was almost buried. Like previous finders, noticed that the cache was very wet - I'd advise maybe looking at taking it out and drying it. Nice location and I just love the picture frame.

TFTC.

Found on early morning hunt
Log wet managed to sign
Tftc

Very wet today with wild seas that foamed on the shore. Out in my raincoat with fashionable blue gumboots as everything was wet, wet, wet. Wandered up the hill after parking nearby and when the GPS pointed the way to go, in I dived and came up with an exposed cache. It had a little water in it which I emptied out and signed the dry log and covered with a bit of cameo as I backed out of the hide. TNLN TFTC Thanks jasenjanine
